An increase ot almost 1K) per

me cnemistry department at
the Oregon Agricultural College
indicates the growing popularity
of this Btudy. Over 400 are now
registered in classes in which
there were but 2XG last year. In
agricultural chemistry there are
f2 students compared with 31 a
year ago, and the dairy c hemistry
classes have grown from 50 to GO
per cent.

to get the greatest amount of

ranged the work so that instead
of separate courses in breeding,
feeding, judging and like mat
ters, each including information
as to all these animals, the course
on horses, for instance, will con
