In addition to these regular courses, instruction was given during the 

 summer school as in previous years. During the winter term Mr. Stanley- 

 Johnston, in charge of the South Haven Experiment Station, took charge 

 of our short courses and we are pleased to report that his services were very 

 efficient, and we believe this new arrangement of having our Superin- 

 tendent from the South Haven Station devote his energies to teaching during 

 the winter term, will prove a very satisfactory one, both to the department 

 and to the students of the short courses. This will prevent the necessity 

 of engaging inexperienced and new instructors each year for short course 

 teaching work. 



We have also continued the work of teaching the Federal Aid students; 

 some of these students joining our regular classes, but most of them being 

 handled in separate classes and most of the instruction being given to them 

 in the form of laboratory work. 



A number of important changes have been made in the courses of study 

 in horticulture for the coming year. The fundamental purpose of these 

 changes was to make many of the courses offered by this department 

 during the junior and senior years available for other agricultural students, 

 and to enable the students in horticulture to elect work in the other tech- 

 nical departments of the division that is desirable in preparing them for a 

 special field of service. Some courses in Soils, Commercial Fertilizers, and 

 Farm Management, offered during the junior and senior years, seem as im- 

 portant to the horticultural student interested in fruit production as to the 

 student specializing in farm crops or animal industry. These changes, 

 therefore, that have been made in this department together with the changes 

 made by the other technical departments of this division, will enable students 

 to gain a more general agricultural training in preparation for high school 

 agricultural teaching or county agent work, as well as to permit a greater 

 intensification of the courses for those desiring stronger specialization. This 

 increased flexibility of the Agricultural and Horticultural departments we 

 believe to be very desirable.
