Page 4 Michigan State College Record Division of . .. . Agriculture and Forestry W i th seventy-seven years of tradition behind it, the Division of Agriculture at Michigan State College today stands in the forefront of agricultural education. W i t h in the past five years a complete set of of new and commodious barns has been erected. They house adequate herds of the finest livestock of the breeds best suited to Michigan. The Col lege farm of more than 1800 acres offers excellent facilities for instruction in farm crops and horti culture. Large tracts of woodland and extensive nurseries furnish a natural laboratory for students of Forestry. The courses in Agriculture are designed to fit students to handle successfully the present-day prob lems of Agriculture. The sciences and arts form the basis upon which the technical agricultural courses are built. In the junior and senior years students in Agriculture may choose one of the following spe cialized phases: GENERAL AGRICULTURE, with a major in Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Economics, Ani mal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Farm Crops, Farm Management, Poultry Husbandry, or Soils. HORTICULTURE, including Apiculture, Floriculture and Vegetable Gardening. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, including Municipal, Park and Estate Landscape Series. S M I T H - H U G H ES V O C A T I O N AL SERIES in Agriculture. FORESTRY, including Municipal Forestry Series. For the boy who loves the out-of-doors, the course in Forestry is an attractive one. Though the course is quite technical, a student has opportunities to elect subjects outside his chosen field. The demand for trained foresters is a growing one and a student will find a variety of positions open to him. SHORT COURSES Those who find it impossible to spend four years in securing scientific training in Agriculture will be interested in the num erous short courses offered at Michigan State. Besides courses one and two weeks in length for special businesses, the College offers a two-year, sixteen-week, and an eight-week short course in practical Agriculture.

Students learned t h at t he best way to catch a ride was to look as if they did not need it, to accept, with refined ease, the favors eagerly donated t h em by motorists. Good clothes were de rigueur. Unshaven cheeks were simply not seen. T he youth ful m a n n er was cultivated. H at brims were turned up, to give a frank and open appearance to the countenance. Since it became known t h at rides were usually given in inverse propor tion to the actual necessity for them, all suggestions of beg ging were eliminated. The casual lift of the t h u mb replaced the stiffer, more obvious gesture of t he whole arm. W i th ex perts often a simple nod of the head announced their willing ness to accept conveyance. In every way the bummer strove to impress on t he sensitive m i nd of the driver t h at he was physically harmless, potentially companionable, a nd adeptly un troublesome.

The whole world was bumming. Hikers and tramps, workers and businessmen, children a nd m o t h e rs took their stand on corners a nd waggled their thumbs.

T he early depression years—1929 and 1930—must be a c counted the low point in bumming activities. More people t h em were getting rides.

Referring to the physical law mentioned above, few of them were picked up. In these years the h a r sh signs "No Riders' began to a p pear on trucks, and traveling salesmen, the good angels of bumming, had hardened hearts. Bumming's fine traditions— always to t h a nk the driver, always to talk or be silent as he washes, always to ask to be let out where it is most convenient for him, never to crowd into a car. always to help if there is any breakdown, always to offer him any cigarettes, candy, trampled or whatnot t h at you may be using yourself—were It looked like the end. upon by barbarians. • TODAY bumming resembles an invalid who hovers be tween convalescence and relapse. The khaki suits of the C. C. C. young men found little trouble in getting rides last sum- mer. Although the general public is still antagonistic toward bummers, there are enough friendly citizens left to allow stu dents to escape car-fare on short trips, at least. But outside of the uniformed classes the going is very hard—as it should they be, the students feel—for since they invented bumming would like to hold it as an exclusive prerogative. In any case, the early innocent days are gone and will not return. The spirit of adventure has gone out of bumming. Wild, but true tales of encounters on the road are no longer as often heard. People no longer start for Chicago and end in Detroit with a whole new set of friends, or catch rides with salesmen who let them drive, or be picked up by a chauffeur and meet a millionaire, or join forces with a blonde heiress. It is a business now, and as such is more practical, though less entertaining.—O. L. B.. '33. their • WITH only half a dozen ball games remaining on 1934 schedule.
