Abstract:

Never before has the college student majoring in agriculture been faced with a more solid curriculum of stiff science than is true today.

Today's boy and girl are expected to master learning in soil science, in hydrology, genetics and nutrition on a higher level than the professor himself attained 50 years ago. More and more agricultural processes are being computerized, and highly refined measurements of temperature, soil moisture, protein analysis, marketing margins and chemical analysis of herbicidal applications test the skill of those youths whom we classify as mathematically minded, or scientifically minded.
