Through different projects such as the making of desk sets, lamp shades, the lix l 1 fm X arrangement of objects on top of tables, dressers and bookcases the girls learn the 4,4 principles of art which apply in making a home livable and attractive to the family f R , - f N, .md friends. ilqfl They learn to rearrange and refurnish rooms, to refinish old furniture as well as 1' Yi l' the important points in planning new homes. 16 . j Problems which arise in the management of a home are considered, such as the J N R . . . . . R fl!!! care of household equipment, time and labor saving methods, budgeting the 1ncome psf ,mpg and expenditures, also desirable types of home entertainment. Elf 3 Food courses include the study of the nutritional value of foods for all members Y liqxxg' of the family, the planning and preparation of meals with simple table service suitable X f-Nil for the home ' .N l ' l fx, The purchase of ready made clothin 5 the stud of cotton, wool, linen and silkg ll Lil l . g y j if Ml the construction of garments for different members of the family, the possibilities of ,Bm ijffqlrj decorative needlework are all studied according to the girl's needs, abilities and interests. X The Division, recognizing that the man has a definite interest and responsbility il 4' 'rm in the home, is offering food units elective to those men who wish them. These units may be extended to cover other phases as the interest in these fields develops. Each jfixm term more men are becoming interested in these subjects. fill i W1 Fiijijj T P. ij, Qi-2 , , ,, , , , , Y, V ,,, ,V , Y f 7 i ,W W, Y, , ,iw , ,K , ,, , ,,- l 27 T 576' T-i?Y,fi'ii e7'7il' ffY2TsQT17'5 '-1 '- 7L' ' rs' I iigliiiif ' 'gif gijg'l4fl1iQQi.EQiii-g?JliI1fQEQi45llfi?:i? ibiiig-E3: ie Page Forty-one , , ,

X N N The farmer must know something about plants and their habits if he expects to N i X get the best results in growing crops. Plant growth, reproduction, storage, and 1 diseases are all factors in the income of the farm. X. l .i Plants are the basic food crop for man and his domesticated animals. They are if ill, also the origin of many raw products upon which many manufacturing industries depend. ' , l l ,Sli The Section of Plant Physiology and Agricultural Botany teaches practical courses l 9 IRQ, in botany, emphasizing subjects related to the production of agricultural crops. Courses l are given in the study of weeds and seed testing. Plants, weeds, and seeds are identi- ' X ,gg fied, and advice is given relative to their methods of growth and control. Experiments 'sy' X' 1 ,i are conducted to determine better conditions for plant growth, production of materials, ll artificial ripening, and storage of fruits, etc., all of a practical nature, , I Q The Section of Plant Pathology teaches a course in the identiication, cause, and V methods of control or prevention of common plant diseases. Stress is laid upon better Q methods of spraying, dusting, seed treatment, and the rotation and breeding of crop 5 plants so as to lessen the losses due to plant diseases. Experimental work is done to ,figs determine the life habits of disease organisms and devise means of control or elimination.
