HE College of Agriculture, comprising courses in Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Animal Industry, Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, and Veterinary Science, offers a broad field of research and study along the above-named lines. The courses air designed to give training to those who wish to become farmers, teachers or investigators of agricultural subjects. Four reg- ular college courses are given,- the Agricultural Course of four years; the Horticultural Course, the required work of which is nearly the same as that of the Agricultural Course; the Forestry Course, which gives a training in practical forestrj as well as a liberal education: and the Special Course in Horticulture, for those who cannot afford to spend four years in preparing themselves to become farmers. Besides these there are the Extension Courses. — a series of short courses and a correspondence course, designed to give as much practical knowledge as possible along the line of scientific farming to those who have not the time for regular High School and College training. The aim is to familiarize the student with modern scientific methods of farming, to teach agriculture both from a technical and a practical stand- point, and in all its branches. The college is reaching many people through its short courses and extension work, is becoming more and more each year, an important factor in the agriculture of the state, and is exerting an influence toward the economic development of the two princi- pal resources of the state, the farm and the forest. To graduates of the regular college courses the degree of Bachelor of Science is given. ■- ' f
