DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 39 



Live Stock Breeders' and Feeders' Association in January, the Farmer's 

 Week in February and Farmer's Day the previous August. All three of 

 these were unprecedented successes. Farmers' Week originally an Agri- 

 'Cultural Division undertaking bais become an institutional affair, in 

 which all divisions of the institution participate heartily and harmo- 

 niously. 



During this year the Division again entered competitions with dairy 

 and stock judging teams at National and International Expositions, 

 making creditable winnings. The Animal Husbandry Department 

 achieved the signal honor of winning grand championship on steer carcass 

 at the 1921 International Live Stock Exposition. 



The Division is pursuing its past policy of trj-ing to build up and 

 maintain uniformly strong and efficient departments. The Horticultural 

 Department is badly in need of a new building providing oflSces and 

 laboratories together with commercial greenhouses. A new farm me- 

 chanics building with equipment is also sorely needed as this phase of 

 educational work is becoming more and more important to the farmer. 

 The removal of some old buildings formerly used has greatly restricted 

 the usable space. 



In addition to the 1020 acres of land now owned by the College at East 

 Lansing, an additional 200 acres to the south has been rented with option 

 of purchase. While this additional land is now needed, future years will 

 certainly justify the contemplated purchase in the very near future. 



It is gratifying to be able to report relationships of harmony and en- 

 thusiastic effort throughout the entire Division. 



Respectfully submitted, 



E. S. SHAW, 



East Lansing, Michigan, June 30, 1922. 



Dean of Agriculture.
