The livestock of the Upper Peninsula is a fair index to the advancement 

 of agriculture in that territory. The development of the new cut-over land 

 will be successful largeh' in proportion to the extent of development of the 

 dairying, sheep raising, or of some other livestock enterprise. The sections 

 already developed, with farming practices well established depend upon 

 livestock production as an important factor in utilizing crops products and 

 in maintaining fertihty. 



One of the purposes of this Station is to conduct experiments which will 

 aid in guiding the development of hvestock farming along the most profit- 

 able lines. The Station is fortunate in having substantial livestock buildings 

 and foundational herds and flocks to cslttx out the many experiments needed 

 in the development of breeding stock and livestock management for farmers 

 of northern ^Michigan.
