J. Clarke, Publisher JOHN T. CAINE III, M. S. A. John T. Caine III, director of the extension division of the Utah Agricultural College at Logan, in which city he was born June 4, 1882, is a son of John T. Caine, Jr., mentioned at length on another page of this work. He acquired his early education in the public schools of Logan and afterward attended the Utah Agricultural College, from which he was graduated in 1903. He later entered the Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa; where he studied animal husbandry and was graduated with the M. S. A. degree in 1905. For six months thereafter he worked in experiment barns and also spent two months in the stock yards in Chicago, gaining practical experience along the line to which he had determined to devote his life work. In 1909 he spent four months in Europe studying live stock conditions. In 1906 Mr. Caine became connected with the Utah Agricultural College at Logan as foreman of the barns. For a few months he occupied that position, after which he was given charge of animal husbandry and so served from 1906 until 1913, when he was made assistant director of the extension division. He did live stock work in the extension division until 1916, when Dr. Peterson was made president and he became director of the extension division, in which capacity he has served to the present time. In June, 1918, he was asked by the United States department of agriculture to take charge of animal husbandry in fifteen western states and so served during the period of the war. He has acted as judge at various state fairs in most of the western states, judging all kinds of stock. He is an acknowledged authority upon the value of domestic animals, having largely mastered the science to which he is devoting his life. He is continually broadening his knowledge by research and investigation as well as by study of the works of others, and he is largely qualified to speak with authority upon all that has to do with the development and care of herds and flocks in the west. In 1912 Mr. Caine was married to Miss Jean Crookston, a daughter of Bishop N. W. Crookston, of North Logan, and they have two children: Margaret Jane, born in 1913; and John T. IV, born in 1916.
