Ou1 committee presents the ioi.ow
ling report on the condition ana acti
lNI1ea OF the Department OF AgriCu.-
|turc.
The work OF the department ldl,S
naturally into three divisions: those o.
Instruction, research, and the manage
ment OF the College farm.
The Institutional side OF the de
pa7,ncnt has developed rapidly aui-
ing the past year. Up to the present
time twenty students have registered
in some one OF the courses in agricul-
ture. While this may seem a small
n.niber. il should be remembered that
It Is nearly twice the number in at
tendance year ago, and that but two
courses in College have more stud
ents enrolled at the present time. In
quiries concerning the course are
constantly being received, and thele
is every reason to believe that il the
course is properly supported we shall.
have more students each year.
The courses are revised frequently
and every effort is made to keep them
up to the highest standard.
All OF the technical instruction in
Agfiriculture is being carried by four
professors who have numerous other
duties IN the Experiment Station and
in the State. as we'll as in the class
room
AS soon as the work in the College
nd investigation i'll the Experiment

hall have to provide assistance for at
least some OF the officers who are now
9carrying on work in the cass room, in
the Experiment Station, and in the
State i'll extension work. The great
need OF the college work OF the EX.
pertinent Station Is some arrangement
BY which the teachers shall have more
undivided time for preparation and III
etructiOnal intercourse with the stud
ents
On the whole. this side OF the college
work is in a healthy condition. 1t IS
rowing in a satisfactory manner and
worthy OF the unqualified support
