The Dlvlslon of Veterinary Medlclne . l - . . . l X HE work of the Division of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Minne- 1 X ' sota, is largely in the field of research. Instruction, however, is given in both ' Q the College and School of Agriculture. Instruction in the School of Agricul- l 5 1 ture consists of lectures and recitations in physiology, both human and animal. In- ,, If-4 5 .u . ,gd 0 l 'Vg W lf S, D I0 4 l struction is also given to students in the School of Agriculture, concerning the causes and prevention of infectious diseases of livestock, as well as other disease conditions which are not infectious. These classes are conducted primarily to give the student the necessary information, and to enable him to keep his animals as free from disease as possible. The trend of modern medicine is largely for prevention and the work of this department stresses this phase. A diagnosis laboratory is maintained in conjunction with the Minnesota State Livestock Sanitary Board. Here diseased livestock specimens are examined from all over the state. Last year more than 78,000 specimens were diagnosed in this laboratory. The research problems that are being studied at the present time are in connection l v A Q 4 V A .0 TV 2 E with the control of bovine infectious abortion or Bang's disease. Work is also in progress to determine the causes and prevention of the diseases of little pigs, with especial ,kwl reference to anemia of pigs. There are also under way studies on diseases of poultry and other farm animals. l l iw' Page Thirty-ihree

D l .fbi The Dlvlslon of Dairy Husbandry l ei lb I fl HE Division of Dairy Husbandry is devoted to the service of dairying through l teaching, research, and extension. The staff recognizes a real opportunity in I teaching in the School of Agriculture. A most serious effort is extended in of- :K l -X i . . . . . . - - . fering a Well rounded curriculum covering the dairy field. This curriculum is designed g to give the student training in the fundamentals of dairy farming and a fund of knowl- if edge that with reasonable application on his part should fit him to make larger contribu- i K ml . . . 1 tions to the dairy industry of the state. l O .V The Dairy Division recognizes and appreciates the seriousness of purpose on the . . 1 i ETX ix part of the school students. As a result it extends further effort to improve its 5 offerings. It is a source of gratification and pride to the dairy staif to learn of former 'fig students in the School of Agriculture leading in dairy enterprises of all kinds. Their 2 ' NXJ .A i leadership is exemplary and far reaching in dairy development in the state. As time goes on and larger numbers are graduated we are looking for even larger influences from the School of Agriculture. In such hands the dairy industry has a bright future. li? Fw, 2. ' Yfjlil The several individuals of the dairy staff enjoy and respect the friendship and , N confidence of the school students and alumni. They point with pride to the large 'Sill lf N number of school alumni that pay friendly visits when in the Twin Cities. wvgxil : Nl H l,ifl'li , Wifi- Q! l NG: li, tif!!-21-A-f 11-S1 grit-:i.:.. 4:,.:qg.f1gii1g.. gag- I-A ,Q EQ .gf-7 Page Tloiriy-two

The Division of Agronomy and Plant Genetics HE work of the Division of Agronomy and Plant Genetics of special interest -Tl-to the School of Agriculture consists of instruction in the School and of research and experimental projects in the Agricultural Experiment Station. The four school courses given comprise instruction in Grain Crops, Forage Crops and Potatoes, Judging and Grading of Grain Crops and Crop Breeding. Summer projects in special phases of crop improvement and production are also of importance. These courses have the purpose of aiding in the development of better systems of farming with particular reference to the importance, correct handling and uses of Minnesota farm crops. An important phase of experiment station research with farm crops has as its objective the development and introduction of varieties adapted to various sections of the state. Farm crops bred at Minnesota are used widely throughout the state. They comprise: Minturki, a cold resistant, bunt and Stem rust resistant variety of winter wheat, Marquillo, a stem rust resistant spring wheat, Mindum, a high yielding, high quality durum varietyg Velvet and Glabron, smooth awned barleysg Manchuria and Svansota, standard 6-rowed and 2-rowed rough-awned varieties respectively and Peat- land, a 6-rowed variety adapted specially for peat soils, Gopher, a stiff strawed early oat, Anthony and Minrus, stem rust resistant, later maturing, high yielding varieties, Redwing, an early, wilt resistant fl'ax. Double crosses of corn which promise to greatly modify methods of seed corn production have been developed for central Minnesota. Page Thirty- four D., .rr .-,....E.. ,,,,,,xW
