The United States with but 5 per -cent of the world's popu lation, produces 24 per cent of the total agricultural products of the world, 22 per cent of the world's^ supply of wheat, 35 the per cent of the oats, 60 per cent of cotton and 80 per cent of the corn. Of the • domestic animals of the world this country possesses the following percentages: Horses, 25 per cent; cattle, 27 per cent; hogs, 40 per cent, and in addition produces 25 per cent of all dairy products. These achievements have been in less than a century because our vast areas of fertile soil and the unprecedented de velopment of transportation facilities and manufacturing and other industries utiliz ing vast and varied natural resources. accomplished A great area of rich fertile soil was the factor of most importance in our wonder ful agricultural achievements and the prob lem of replenishment and maintenance of soil fertility is now of the gravest concern for we have been selling it without replace ment with most reckless abandon. The pressing war time appeal made to to increase production so that the farmer "food might win the war" resulted in a patriotic response producing the desired re sult fully and effectively but resulting in an unbalancing of agricultural production and practice that caused further depletion of soil fertility. The agricultural colleges of the United States are now confronted with numerous agricultural, educational and investigational problems of great moment in their relation to the readjustment which must be made. The agricultural course of the Michigan Agricultural College with its general basic scientific training stands primarily for education in the pro duction of food staples to meet the demands of state, national and international market conditions. This means thorough and com prehensive studies in soils and soil fertility, farm crops, farm ^management, animal hus bandry, dairy husbandry, poultry and api culture in all their special phases. We also recognize the necessity for conserving and developing the resources of our woodlots and forest through specially arranged and extended studies in forestry. The same is also true of the unusual opportunities of fered for studies in horticulture; these in terests in Michigan almost equal to those of the greatest horticultural state in the country. technical Our courses in farm mechanics including carpentry, forge work, power machinery, farm building, construction and land drain age are offered in recognition of the rapid replacement of man and horse by machine and motive power. These are supplemented by courses in engineering relating to sur veying, road building, drainage and elec tricity in either direct or indirect applica tion to farm problems. In this course the dependence of agricul ture upon the sciences is quite fully recog nized; chemistry pioneered in soil fertility problems and those relating to fertilizers, the basis of the "feeding and established standard" on which present day animal feeding methods are based. Physics is now regarded as essential to scientific soil re search in soil problems and its principles must be intelligently applied in preparing soils for crop production, it applies directly to farm machine, drainage and construction problems. Through the efforts of the eco nomic botanist we now have efficient meth ods of disease control among field crops, orchard and small fruits and vine and gar den products, resulting in a vast economi cal saving. The soil problem and a thor ough knowledge of it is necessary to com bat numerous plant and animal diseases of exceedingly destructive is also fundamental to proper food supply and the maintenance of normal human health con ditions. The application of the results of researches in entomology have aided in de veloping remedial measures for the protec tion of both plants and animals on the farm. The courses in anatomy, physiology and geology are offered as basic training for further studies in science. If it were not for measures of prevention and control as determined by veterinary science, the wel fare of our billions of dollars worth of do mestic animals in the United States would be constantly jeopardized. These are just a few the sciences are so generously offered in support of the techni cal work of the agricultural course.

Blair, ' 2 1. t Last Friday night SHALL WE "HAVE NATIONAL FRATERNITIES? the I-\ter-Society Union — an or ganization whose member ship two is composed of upper class representatives from each of the men's lit erary societies on the cam pus—met and after a con ference unanimously decid ed that an agitation should be started to place M. A. C. on the list of colleges having national fraternities in this country. At present rulings of the State Board of Agriculture do not permit such strictly organizations, except those of honorary membership. a From all information that can be gained the State Board of this college is in a re ceptive mood to consider the problem from all its angles. Perhaps the student representatives of the various societies have been a bit hasty in this action. The alumni of most literary societies on the campus form the financial backbone of the organization. These men should have had a greater part than they had in deciding upon the student action to be taken. But even with the action taken by the Inter-Society Union favorable to the proposition, the alumni still have the oppor tunity of shaping the individual policies of any literary society of which they may be graduate members, or of the proposition as a whole. STUDENT VIEWS CONCERNING NATIONAL FRATS. Of course, as on all other student ques tions, when considering national fraterni ties for M. A. C. the undergraduate body is not a unit in its opinion. However, a conservative estimate would probably place nine-tenths of the literary society men of the campus on the affirmative side of the issue, and of the non-society men the divi sion of pro and con would be about half and half. The first objection raised by many is that the installation of national fraternities at M. A. C. would rob us of our boasted de mocracy. As students, many of us are at present wondering whether this democracy that We have is all that it should be. If national frats would rob us of our democ racy, what effect have the present literary societies, which are nothing more than local fraternities—had on this indefinite quality of which we are so proud? The advocates of national fraternities bring forth a very strong argument. They claim that the organization of local chap ters of national frats from the now exist to ing literary societies would do much raise our standing among other tions. institu This group of men also try to show that the student body outside of our athletics has no connecting tie with the student body of any other college in the country. And so it goes. The converting of the present literary societies into national fra ternity chapters would probably not effect all the now existing organizations on the campus. Even where the national frats are strongest, a certain percentage of local or ganizations continue thrive. However, the question is one of such import that the student body and especially the literary so ciety men should have at their disposal the opinions and recommendations of older heads. to THE BASKETBALL SEASON. The 1920 basketball season except for the trip into the U. P^ is ended. It has been a very successful season. Our natural rivals at Ann Arbor have twice been humbled. A Nebraska team boasting of an unbroken record of victories for the past two years was also defeated at two different occasions. There have been some defeats; not many. The season has also been a financial success. but Four of the veterans of this year's team will graduate in the spring, but an even larger number of first string players will remain in school and again be seen repre senting the Aggies in the cage sport next year. THE GLEE CLUB TRIP. M. A. C. will again stage a Glee and Man dolin Club trip during the spring recess as in days of yore before the war. The club is fast rounding into shape, and the Var sity Quartet has already been pronounced by college musical critics as the best com bination ever turned out by this institution. The route of this trip has been published in the Record. The clubs feel as though the success of the trip is to a certain de gree in the hands of the alumni. Beside the evening concerts the clubs will render informal programs in the high schools of the cities visited in the afternoon. A GET ACQUAINTED IDEA. The alumni association of South Haven has a custom worthy of imitation, that has proved very popular with M. A. C. students, and prospective students, who have come in touch with this group of people. At each Christmas vacation and spring recess the alumni of this community meet for a social evening with all students of the college they can have present. They also have as their guests a number of local young persons who may be prospective M. A. C. students. 12 THE M. A. C.

RECORD. 15 What a United States Senator wrote to his son-in-law EVERY successful man in business feels a responsibility for the younger men with whom he is associated. The heads of large businesses recognize that the future of their enterprises depends upon their ability to create new executives. How can he help them? The Advisory Council Not by money. Not by influence. Help of this character defeats it weakens rather than strengthens the man who receives it. its own ends; BUSINESS and educational authority of the highest type are represented on the Institute's Advisory Council. That Council consists of: Many of the leaders of American business have found a way to render more effective and permanent help. They have investigated the Alexander Hamilton Institute and take ad vantage of every opportunity to recommend its training to their younger associates. What the Senator wrote SOME time ago a young business man in one of the leading southern cities enrolled for the Institute's Modern Business Course and Service.. "My father-in-law is Senator so and so from a neigh boring state," he said. "The Senator wrote me from Washington only a week ago urging me to enrol with the institute. "My wife and the Alexander Hamilton Institute are the only two blessings that the Senator has ever recommended to me in unqualified terms.". He is one of the many thousand young men who owe their business progress to the fact that some older man urged the importance of business training. The bigger the business, the more Institute men * 1 "WO facts stand out prominently to dis- -"- tinguish the Alexander Hamilton Institute from every ether institution of business training. The first is the unusual proportion of college men who have welcomed its training. Of the 110,000 men whom the Institute has enrolled in the ten years of its existence more than 35% are university graduates. The second fact is the widespread endorse ment of this training afforded by the patronage of men in the nation's largest and most in fluential industries. Frank A. Vanderlip, the financier; General Coleman duPont, the well known business executive; John Hayes Hammond, the em inent engineer; Jeremiah W. Jenks, the statistician and economist; and Joseph French Johnson, Dean of the New York University School of Commerce. How much your is a year of life worth? accountant, THE Institute says to the salesman, the the superintendent or the engineer: "You must know the fundamentals of every department of business if you are to those departments — selling, mer supervise chandising, advertising,costs, accounting, office and factory management, corporation finance. To learn these by actual experience in each department will consume years of your life; here is a shorter, more direct route, based on the experience and methods of the most suc cessful men in business." The facts are in this book, WH ETH ER you are an older man, i n te rested i n the success of your younger associates; or a young man seeking a more direct route to larger success and increased income, you should send for "Forging Ahead in Business".
