The School of Agriculture endeavors to train students for actual farm- ing research, and for the commercial phases of agriculture. Agricul- tural Economics and Farm Management lead to positions in research or in commercial agriculture. Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Industry and Poultry Husbandry train students for actual farm man- agement and production. There are opportunities for work in Extension Service for students taking courses both in Agriculture and Horticulture. Although Vet- erinary Science is not a major field of study here, courses are offered to assist students in entering veterinary work. AGRICULTURE
