It Is planning to increase and intensify its work the coming year. Especially is added emphasis to be placed upon work In home economics.

Here problems in range management will be worked out, and the care of cattle and sheep on the range, taught. The care of our national forests will also be part of the work. 1 With the completion of this splendid .building, the Utah Agricultural Col-j Col-j lege will be' in a position to further emphasize its work in dairying and i animal husbandry. ; With enlarged and newly equipped laboratories at hand, it will be able to ! carry on experimental work on an en-j en-j larvrefl scale, and to offer Its students I even better opportunities for study than it has been able to offer In tie past. |
