The Committee on the Future of the Indiana Corn School submitted 

 the following resolutions: 



"We, your Committee on the Future of the Corn School and Stock- 

 men's Convention, report that we conferred with the professors of the 

 agricultural college and with the prominent members of the Corn School 

 as to the future needs and lines of work helpful to the interests of our 

 annual convention. 



"The effort of the State Corn Growers' Association in co-operation 

 with Purdue has aroused such an interest in the study of agriculture that 

 our attendance has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. We rec- 

 ognize that in the future our diity lies, not only in increasing this interest, 

 but also to join with the Purdue authorities to enlarge the scope and in- 

 crease its eflSciency. 



"Realizing the magnitude of the work before us, your committee re- 

 quested, and readily obtained, an audience with President Stone on the 

 best methods to pursue which shall insure that continued concert of action 

 which has characterized our work up to the present time. In the conference 

 with Dr. Stone we received a hearty welcome, in which the doctor ex- 

 pressed his appreciation of the marked success and practical character 

 of the work of this Corn School, and gave us his assurance of the con- 

 tinued support of Purdue University. 



"Your committee suggests that this Corn School cordially invite all 

 farmers of the State and their families to attend and enjoy the lectures 

 of the Aveek of the Corn School of 190G. 



"We appreciate the provision for the instruction of women in the pres- 

 ent program, and recommend that this school make it a permanent feature 

 of our future work. 



"Lastly, wo recommend that the chairman appt>inl an exccuiivc cum- 

 mittee of three members of this school to confer with a similar committee 

 of the university in arranging the program and various details of our 

 Corn Sfhool for 1900.
