State benefits from Ag College instruction, research projects Expansion of all departments in 1966-67 continued to mark activ- ity for the school year in the University of Wyoming College of Agriculture. New courses, including turf management and insect physiology, were added to the plant science curriculum. A doc- torate program in entymology and a master of science degree in ag engineering reached full study status during the year. Among projects at stock or plant science farms were selection of beef to determine rate of gain and carcass value relationship, susceptibil- ity studies for lice in cattle, revegetation methods for overbur- dened land and development of new varieties of mums for high altitude areas. With expanding studies and projects, much re- search work was conducted l)y graduate students while some undergraduates were hired to take care of experimental plants or animals and to collect data. To begin the year, the Home Eco- nomics department revamped the clothing and textile area of study. The department also created a course for applied design to replace six hours of design previously conducted through the art department. Neal W. (Dutch) Hilston, dean of the College of Agriculture, had written more than 50 papers for publication and was listed in Who ' s Who, Who ' s Who in American Education and Who ' s Who in the West.
