THE DIVISION OF AGRICULTURAL BIOCHEMISTRY HE Division of Agricultural Biochemistry has charge of the entire field of 'V chemistry as related to agriculture with the exception of soil chemistry ' which is in a separate Division of Soils. Our work is divided into instruction in the School of Agriculture and in the College of Agriculture, and research in the Agricultural Experiment Station. In thc instructional work we attempt to give particular attention to those phases of chemistry which have to do with living processes, both in the field of plant chem- istry and of animal chemistry. Life may be looked upon as the resultant of a series of very complicated chemical and physical reactions, and it is only when all of these reactions are functioning under their optimum conditions that maximum results are secured. This will apply equally to plants growing in the field and to animals, in- cluding man. The purpose of our instruction therefore is to point out the facts that are already known in regard to the normal chemistry of living processes, and in our Experiment Station work we are attempting to secure additional information in re- gard to living processes. , -v 1, i I Page Fifty-three

T 1 DIVISION OF VETERINARY MEDICIINE . .gfivk YC. sm HE Division of Vetrinarv Medicine is orwanized for three main Jur oses: Mi, ,315 ' C' 59, ggi? First-to give instruction in the prevention and control of diseases of ani- itat. , ' 1 . . . . UT-I 1 mals to students in the School of Agriculture. Second-to carry on investi- Wi x gational work in connection with dlSC3SCS of domestic animals. Third-to give exten- 11: ' .uv sion and short course service. The aim in the teaching of veterinary medicine is to 'E' give the information to owners or prospective owners of animals that will enable 1, them to avoid serious losses from disease. Our investigational work includes prob- 5 , , W : J lerus in connection witl1 conta0'ious abortion and sterilit of cattleg tuberculosis of XMLJ es Y E , A I poultryg nutritional diseases of swineg blackhead of turkeysg the disease caused by xl ,ii feeding sweet clover in cattle as well as other problems. Progress has been made in .N . . . . . . . . . . I 1 ' securing lnformatlon that will aid the animal industry of the state of Minnesota in U . reventino' losses due to these conditions. In carr infr on this work we will have Q 5 y U w..f.' examined during the present year nearly 15,000 specimens coming from various places in Minnesota for different diseases. Our extension service is largely confined f ' X 'to anwerin letters in res ect to diseases of livestock.
