Agricultural Training for Boys AMI
Girls

Every young man who expects to
farm in Nevada should take an agri-
cultural course at the state university.
Graduates from high schools may en-
ter the regular four-year agricultural
course. Those over twenty. who have
not completed the high school work,
may enter as special students in ag-
riculture.
The University of Nevada is Offer
ing the highest class of training in
all branches of agriculture practices
in the state. The University Farm,
which comprises two hundred and
fifteen acres, is used for demonstra-
tions in the various methods of agri-
cultural practices and livestock man.
agement All young men who intend
to follow the livestock industry should
be familiar with the best methods of
breeding and management of livestock
on the range and in the feed lot. If
dairying is the type of farming to be
practiced the greatest profits will be
realized by careful selection of the
foundation stock. by using the sim
plest and most successful methods to
build up the herd, by keeping herd
records. by testing COWS for butter fat
and by using the available feeds to the
best possible advantage. If crop pro-
duction is to be practiced intensively
the grower should have a good idea
regarding the value of different types
of soil and their suitability to various
crops; the amount of labor and cul-
tivation it is necessary TO devote to
each crop to realize the greatest re
turns per acre. and a simple method
of farm accounting which will show
him at the end of each year where the
greatest profits have been received
The University College of Agriculture
gives the student thorough training
in all of these various subjects an
at the same time affords an apportu-
nifty for specializing in any particular
branch of work to be pursued after
leaving college. The University opens
August 2S. 1916.

Secretary Adamson was kept busy
yesterday reading from the assess
ment lists of the several counties, and
the assessors were making figures, re-
lating to the livestock of the state.
Each grade of livestock was being di-
vided into classes, so that all over the
state each animal of a certain grade
would have the same valuation placed
upon it, Horses, for instance, are clas-
sified as work horses, range horses,
brood horses, stations, and so on. Cat
tie are treated the same way, and a
valuation will be placed on animals
of each class, and this valuation will
apply all over the state.
The total valuation for the state, as
reported by the assessors, is S176,-
236, 1926. From this amount will be
taken the exemptions of widows, much
patented mining ground. and other
more or less important changes may
be made.

ANNOUNCE HONORS

At the first assembly of the univer-
sity year, September /, all honors
awarded for excellence in standing
during the academic year 1856 will
be announced. On last commencement
day announcement was made of a
change in the time of awarding of
honors to students. Previously made
on commencement day for all stu
dents, this practice has been retained
for seniors and for students given
prizes and special scholarships on
grounds other than excellence in
standing. The former practice of an
nouncing honor for all students on
commencement day was open to OBJ
lection, because, except for seniors
and students taking diplomas, the rec
ords were not yet complete. For this
reason determination of honors for
undergraduates and of prizes and
scholarships based on high standing
is now made after commencement and
when the records are complete. Such
scholarships will be awarded only to
students returning to the University.
All recipients of honors, prizes and
scholarships will receive hereafter
recognition in the public announce
ment of awards at the first assembly
of the university year.

The Upper Class Advisory System

Ine upper tlaSS ADVISORY system
The upper class advisory system
for women, which has been so sue
cessful in great many colleges and
universities, was inaugurated at the
University of Nevada last fall and is
being continued this year, consider
ably enlarged and extended.
In accordance with this system
every upper class woman has assigned
to her a member of the entering class
whom she meets at the train upon
her arrival; assists in registering at
the University, and assists in every
way in initiating her into the mys-
teries of college life.
The upper class advisers are divid-
ed into groups, each group having a
chairman. The chairman consults
with the Dean of Women and plans
are formulated by which the new stu
dents are given all the assistance they
need, and made to feel at home in the
University, in the shortest time pos
sible. The advantage of the group sys-
tenn is that the groups can meet for
social purposes more successfully
than larger number can. and oppor-
tunity is ttus afforded the new stu
dents to ssake a larger circle of
friends among the older girls than
they could otherwise in the first few
weeks of their stay
The relations between the upper
class adviser and her freshman con-
tinue in any case throughout the first
semester and in many cases the
friendship thus formed adds perma-
nent value to the lives of both young
women.
