 The agricultural courses have been well developed during the past two years, and this department is being put upon a practical working basis which bids fair to make it partially if not wholly self supporting. The board has recently secured the use of an additional fifteen acres adjoin- ing the ten acres already under cul- tivation for the use of the classes in animal husbandry.
