The Division of Veterinary Medicine HE Work of the Veterinary Division at University Farm is largely devoted to research in animal diseases. Instruction is given to students in the school and college of Agriculture in hygiene and sanitation relating to the care of animals. There is no instruction given which leads to the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota. The nearest school offering Work leading to a veterinary degree is located at the Iowa State College at Ames. The laboratory of the State Livestock Sanitary Board is located in the Veterinary Division. This laboratory compares to the State Board of Health Laboratory as related to human health. During the past year more than 120,000 specimens of various animal diseases were examined in this laboratory. The results of our research have shown how to effectively control Bang's disease or contagious abortion, and have given us information which aids in returning animals to good breeding condition. Herds are maintained by the Veterinary Division entirely for experimental purposes. The results of our work are given directly to the Animal Husbandry of the state. Page Forly-lbrcc'

The Division of Forestry and Horticulture HE Divisions of Forestry and Horticulture have always been quartered in the same building and at one time were united in a single department. The early development of both fields of work in Minnesota was due directly to the initiative and the clear-visioned planning of the late Professor Samuel B. Green, head of the department, and a nationally recognized figure among the plant scientists of his time. In a little more than 25 years the Divisions of Forestry and Horticulture have been developed from a two-man department into two major divisions with 23 men on their teaching and research faculties. The student body taking the Forestry Course is at present the second largest among Forestry schools of America. A comprehensive research program is also maintained, much of the work being performed on a Forestry Experiment Station of about 3,000 acres at Cloquet, Minnesota. The Division of Horticulture maintains the usual teaching and research activities in the fields of Floriculture and Landscape Gardening, Vegetable Gardening, Fruit Growing and Plant Breeding. An Experimental Station of 230 acres for fruit breeding is located near Excelsior, Minnesota, known as the State Fruit Breeding Farm. The activity of the horticultural staff in research is indicated by the publication of 91 scientific papers in the past five years. Page Forty-two
