THE UNIVERSITY FARM BUILDING

feet wide. The exterior is of plain
brick, but the lines of the building are

ment station and portion of the schoo
of agriculture not already housed in
the dairy building on the farm. The
first floor is for the use of the expert
ment station and the remainder of the
building is to be devoted to the school
Connected with the building is a
greenhouse arranged so that students
can be taught tree setting and pruning
during the winter months, when most
of the farm boys find it most conven-
lent to attend the school. In the base
ment of the building and connectin:
with the greenhouse are the horticul-
tural work rooms, where budding and
grating are to be taught, and where
spraying machines and other horticul-
tural implements can be examined
Upstairs are the various laboratories
students will study the properties of
soils as affecting crop production. In
the chronological laboratory they
learn the life history and habits of de-
structive insects, so that they may be
able TO combat them successfully. Sim
liar practical results are attained in
the botanical and chemical labora-
tories.
The first floor is devoted to the offices
and laboratories of the experiment sta
ton. This is the institution supported
by the government. which is working
out the problems of the farmer and
making it possible to teach agriculture
in a practical way. The scientist is
here brought directly in contact with
practical farm operations and tests all
theories before advocating them. The
erection of this building last year
marked a new era in agricultural edu.
