 AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
 The curriculum in agricultural engineering is designed to give students basic
training in agriculture with specialized training in the application of engineering princi-
ples to agriculture. Such special training is increasingly needed with the increase in
mechanization of farms, the demand for better farm buildings, the recognition of need
for soil and water conservation, and the extension of electrical service to rural areas.
Students graduating with a major in agricultural engineering are prepared for service
with state and federal agencies in teaching, extension, research, and soil and water
conservation; in commercial advertising, sales or service for manufacturers of machinery
and equipment; and in agricultural production as specialists in various phases of agri-
cultural engineering.
 Students intending to major in agricultural engineering are advised to take as
electives while in the University College, PS. 110, MS. 105-106 and ML 181. Electives
in the upper division are principally chosen from agriculture and engineering. See
College of Engineering for curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural
Engineering.

 AGRONOMY
 The curriculum in agronomy is designed to give a broad training in the funda-
mentals of crop production, genetics, plant breeding, and experimental methods. It
trains for general farming as well as positions in technical agronomy. Courses in field
crops emphasize principles and practices of economic production. In genetics and
plant breeding special attention is given to the fundamentals of inheritance as applied
to crop improvement. Experiment Station plots, field trials, and greenhouse experiments
offer opportunity for students to become acquainted with investigations in agronomic
research.
 Students intending to major in Agronomy are advised to take, while in the Uni-
versity College, General Botany (BTY. 101 and BTY. 102-prerequisites for Plant
Pathology), and for electives in agriculture the following courses are suggested: AL.
309, AS. 201, AY. 221, HE. 201.
