Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sixty-First Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Vol. 1: The Report of the President and the Other Officers of Administration for the Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 1923 During the year two members of our teaching staff reached the age of seventy and retired as required by. State law. Professor William R. Hart left our service March 31st. He joined the staff in 1907 as Professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Education. This was the first institution in the country to recognize Agricultural Education as a separate department. Professor Hart soon became recognized as one of the aggressive and sane thinkers in the field of agricultural education. He did more than any other individual in the State to broadcast the idea of Boys' and Girls' Clubs and to organize them for work. Among the four-year students he always stimulated a keen interest in education. Prior to 1907 there were probably less than a dozen M. A. C. Men teaching in Massachusetts. Of the graduates of the last sixteen years (1908 to 1923) 122 are teaching in Massachusetts, 108 are in schools or colleges outside of Massachusetts and 35 are engaged in Extension teaching. It has been said of Professor Hart that he had the clearest vision of the fundamental basis of vocational training of any man engaged in work dealing with the theory of such training. This was openly recognized by many. He held steadfastly to his ideal of what his department should be and never wavered under the most discouraging circumstances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sixty-Third Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Vol. 1: The Report of the President and Other Officers of Administration for the Fiscal Year Ended Nov. 30, 1925 All cucumber houses should be well drained to prevent the soil from becoming water - logged. The young plants should be lightly watered to make them send out a good root system. The soil should be watered in such a way that the water will not stand on top of the ground. A sprinkler system is better than a hose without a nozzle, because not so much water is applied and it soaks into the soil better. The plants should be Watered when it is necessary. They should not be watered as a matter of daily routine. The objective should be to get a good vigorous, healthy, fast growing plant that will mature a large number of fertilized flowers. Nubbins and deformed cucumbers should be removed from the vine as soon as it is apparent that they will not be well shaped cucumbers, since if once deformed they can never develop into a salable form. If they are left on the vine in the hope that they will develop into good cucumbers, thev merely drain the strength of the plant and prevent it from developing normal fruit. Much less vitality is needed to produce a normal cucumber of salable size than is used to carry a nubbin to maturity, since in the for mer the seeds are small and undeveloped while in the latter the fruit ripens and seeds are fully developed. The removal of a maturing cucumber results in further production of pistillate flowers, and consequently further fruit production. It is a slight task to remove the nubbins when the vines are being trained or pruned. Pruning should be a daily rather than' a monthly practice. Much less damage is done if the growing tips of branches are pinched off than if seven or eight nodes are allowed to form on the branches and are then cut off with a knife. A large amount of sugar is made by the leaves of these branches and if they are cut off suddenly a starvation effect is brought about, the physiological balance of the plant is upset, and a large number of nubbins or yellow pickles will be produced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty-Second Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Vol. 1: Report of the President and Other Officers of Administration for Fiscal Year Ended Nov; 30, 1914 Gentlemen of the Corporation, I herewith submit my annual report as president of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. First of all, I wish to convey my hearty personal thanks to you as trustees for your generous action in allowing me a year's leave of absence which ended last May. For considerably over one-half of the period my services were given to the United States and American Commissions on Agricultural Credits, traveling with the commissions in Europe and assisting in the preparation of reports. The entire year was a fruitful one in the widening of observation, the enlarging of acquaintance, and the opportunity for study in fields fundamental to the development of large rural policies. During my absence Prof. Edward M. Lewis served as acting president, not only with energy and efficiency, but with great acceptability to students, faculty and, I am quite sure, to your Board of Trustees. The position of acting president is never a sinecure, but Dean Lewis met every requirement with sympathy, skill, and thoroughgoing loyalty to the policies of the institution. General Review Of The Year. Dean Mills. The death of Prof. George Franklin Mills on Oct. 27, 1914, has taken from us an able member of our staff and a man whose long service, high character, and genuine friendliness had endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. Dean Mills had served the college for nearly twenty-five years, having joined the faculty early in January, 1890. For a large part of his career he was a teacher of English; for many years he was the faithful and hard-working treasurer of the institution; for seven years he was dean of the college. Last June he was made dean emeritus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fiftieth Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Vol. 1: Report of the President and Other Officers for Fiscal Year Ended Nov. 30, 1912 The department of rural sociology should have an introductory course required of all students, but it has not as yet been possible to bring that about. When that is done, all our students before entering the junior year will have had an introduction to the whole field of the agricultural problem, in its practical, scientific, eco nomic and social aspects. There is a strong feeling -on the part of the instructors in agri cultural economics and rural sociology that majors should be offered in both of these departments in order that men may specialize and fit themselves for some of the new positions that are opening for men trained in these subjects.
