THE DIVISION OF AGRONOMY AND FARM MANAGEMENT FARM CROPS ROFITABLE farming is based upon crop production. The production of ' s crops depends upon the suitability of the seed sown, timeliness of sowing, the care of the crop, and a thorough knowledge of the plant requirements. Farm Crops instruction treats of the history, methods of production, judging and uses of the various cereal, corn, potato, fibre and forage crops. Tillage methods and the management of the soil in crop production are taught and illustrated. In- struction in farm crop breeding treats of the reproductive processes of plants and modern methods of propagating and breeding the various farm crops. FARM MANAGEMENT Farmers must be businessmen as well as growers of plants and animals. To develop the ability to think through the farm problems and to stimulate the power to organize the problems of farming into a businesslike plan of operation is the aim in farm management. I Farm management instruction includes studies of farm accounting, business organization, efficiency of production. Types of farming, combinations of crops and cropping systems with systems of livestock production and methods of organizing and conducting the farm business are compared and criticized with a view to de- veloping sound plans of operation. The instruction in both farm crops and farm management is greatly enriched by the results of investigations in plant breeding, crop culture, and farm manage- ment conducted in the experiment station.
