scientific agriculture. Foreign press reports speak highly of the instruction 

 and treatment accorded these students by the College.

 features in the development of farm machines. 



FARM BUILDINGS AND CONVENIENCES. 



Instruction. 



The courses in Farm Buildings and Farm Conveniences for the short 

 course and regular students were given as outlined in the catalog. Mr. H. J. 

 Gallagher gave very efficient assistance in the work with the short courses. 

 The lengthening of the course in Farm Buildings for regular students from 

 three to five credits and making drawing a prerequisite, will greatly strengthen 

 this work. A laboratory has been equipped with farm conveniences which 

 is a material aid in presenting this work. 



EXTENSION. 



In cooperation with the Extension division sample books of the blue 

 print plans available from Farm Mechanics department have been supplied 

 to each county agent.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY. 



The President, Michigan Agricultural College. 



Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the Department 

 of Forestry for the year ending June 30, 1921. 



The work of the department has been very successful during the past year. 

 The course was thoroughly revised. A number of new subjects were intro- 

 duced and the number of credits called for in many other subjects was 

 changed. This revision has worked out most satisfactorily and has, I 

 believe, greatly strengthened the course. 



Mr. G. A. Garratt was appointed Instructor in Forestry to take the place of 

 Mr. F. H. Sanford, who resigned on December 31. The teaching work for
