Discussion. 



In summing up, there are several points 

 I wish to bring out. In looking over the 

 distribution of studies, you will see that 

 any one of the three groups would fit a 

 student as a teacher in Agronomy. And 

 with some extra training he could spe- 

 cialize in any other group if required. 

 Another point I wish to bring out is that 

 a specialist in any one of the groups has 

 sufficient foundation for advanced work 

 in that group. I should also like to em- 

 phasize the fact that a student should take 

 special work in one of the sciences in pre- 

 paring himself for this work. For in- 

 stance, students: specializing in crops and 

 breeding would take more botany than is 

 required and in .soils more chemistry than 

 is required. If intending to pursue grad- 

 uate study, more mathematics should be 

 taken.
