DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. 2ig 



First, That modern barns be built, the present structures 

 being far from what present needs and modern requirements 

 demand for approved housing of working and breeding animals 

 and for certified dairy products. A stock judging pavilion 

 should be built in connection therewith. 



Second, That a new dairy building be erected, as the present 

 plant is entirely inadequate to furnish students with the required 

 amount of instruction as laid down in the curriculum. This 

 will have to be done to maintain the present standard of the 

 college. 



Third, That greenhouses and laboratories, connected there- 

 with, be constructed for proper instruction and practice in 

 floriculture, horticulture, soil, bacteriology^ forestry^ spraying, 

 and grafting. No argtmient is needed to convince one of the 

 needs along this line after a single visit to the present structure. 



Fourth, That a veterinary operating room is needed and it 

 would seem to the committee that the present stock pavilion 

 might be advantageously turned into such. 



Fifth, That sufficient land should be used on the present 

 property of the University or more land be procured in order 

 that the sheep and hogs might have sufficient pasture, as it is a 

 conceded fact that continual housing or confinement is an im- 

 practicable method of economical production of such animals. 



Sixth, That the associations we represent pass resolutions 

 adopting these recommendations and do all in their power to 

 aid in obtaining legislation to the end that the Agricultural Col- 

 lege may become what it should be, a place of highest authority 

 for public information on all agricultural subjects. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. McIntire, 

 L. E. McIntire, 



L. G. HOLSTON, 



Committee. 



Voted, that the report of the visiting members of the College 

 of Agriculture be received and adopted. 



Mr. Mclntire stated that the three associations sending visit- 

 ing members to the college had agreed to report as one com- 

 mittee, as they thought it was much better to work together 

 and agree on certain things than for each one to send in a 

 report, perhaps recommending something different.
