The Eederal de- partments administers funds provided by the National Congress and supplies many specialists who pay regular visits to Utah in the interest of developing the Extension Service of this State. Experiment Station THE Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, established in 1889, is a major divi- sion of the college, supported by S-tate and Federal funds. The State funds apply largely to maintenance and operation, the respective Federal funds to specific fields of research. Through this co- operative relationship the state secures many benefits not otherwise attainable. The Experiment Station seeks by research and experiment to solve both farm and home problems, especially those which farmers and farm women individually are in no position to attack successfully. The problems being studied by the Experiment Station include those pertaining to the maintenance of soil fertility, conservation and efficient utilization of irrigation water, improvement of plants and animals, control of insect pests and diseases, development of cultural methods, marketing of farm products, costs of production, livestock T feeding, human nutrition, rural living stand- ards and community relationships.

School of Agriculture THE purpose of the School of Agriculture is to train young men for organization and leadership in rural problems. This is the great need today in the field of agriculture. In addi- tion to the fundamental Work in the plant and animal sciences the School of Agriculture is endeavoring to strengthen the work in llorticulture, Forestry and Range and in Agri- cultural Economics and the marketing of agricultural commodities. The faculty personnel of the School of Agriculture is striving to turn out graduates that are farm reared but that are also scientifi- cally trained in the profession. Such graduates are in greater demand than ever before. We have little difficulty in placing such products in promising positions. One of the most pleasant phases of faculty service in our institution is the contacts with fine young men during the formative period of their lives. lt is a great satisfaction to study them as they enter the activities of life, win promotions, and finally assume leadership in the profession. KENNETH C. IKLER The Sclhiooll of Commerce THE primary purpose of the School of Commerce is to prepare men and women to enter that ever-expanding field of activity which We call business or commerce. We are using these terms in their broadest sense to include the business aspects of government and of agriculture. . Students who register in this school are urged, especially during the first two years, to pursue a broad course in science and literature while getting an introduction to the opportun- ities and vocations offered in the world of business and in the application of the social sciences generally. With this foundation or background, the aim of the school is to develop in each man or woman a skill or technique which can be directly applied in some recog- nized vocation. This technical skill coupled with training in the fundamental principles of the social sciences and administration enables capable students to enter various vocations and rise rapidly to positions or administrative responsibility.
