I. AGRONOMY 



For the federal year ending June 30th and for the state year end- 

 ing September 30, 1906, I have the honor to submit the following 

 report : 



I. Teaching Work. 



The courses of study and the students pursuing them in the De- 

 partment of Agronomy, including- the allied courses in Soils and 

 Field Engineering during the year 1905-6, have been as follows : 



Soils I, first term 98 



Soils 2, second term 47 



Soils 3, second term 24 



Soils 5, first term 5 



Agronomy 1 1, first term 53 



Agronomy 12, second term 48 



Agronomy 13, first term 12 



Agronomy 14, second term 12 



Agronomy 15, first term 15 



Agronomy 15, second term 16 



Agronomy 19, first term 25 



Agronomy 19, second term 17 



Field engineering 51, second term 64 



Agronomy, Winter-Course 69 



Post Graduates, first term (in residence) 10 



Post Graduates, second term (in residence) 8 



523 



During the year the instruction in soils has been brought into more 

 definite relation to the Department of Agronomy. Additional teach- 

 ing force has enabled the addition and revision of the courses of 

 study. 



In order to make the laboratories accommodate a larger number 

 of students, to make the schedule more elastic and to make the in- 

 struction more elTective for both regular and special students, ar- 

 rangements have been made to add some parallel courses ; for 

 example, Agronomy i, 11 and 12 have been paralleled by Agronomy 

 loi, III and 112. The regular four-year course students and the 

 special students come to agronomy with somewhat dififerent prepa- 

 ration and somewhat different aims. This differentiation in courses 

 of study makes it possible to meet -more effectively the needs of both 

 classes of students.
