CORN SCHOOL AND STOCKMEn's CONVENTION. 263 



Resolutions adopted by the Indiana Corn School of 1905: 



"Whereas, The large attendance and unabated interest in the work 

 of the Corn School and Stockmen's Convention, which has seemingly in- 

 tensified throughout the session; therefore, 



"Resolved, That we wish to commend the work to farmers and their 

 sons and daughters throughout the State, and urge upon them to avail 

 themselves of the advantages offered in these annual schools. 



"Resolved, That we appreciate the aid that has been extended to the 

 school of agriculture by the university authorities in providing for the 

 erection of a dairy barn and live stock judging pavilion, and seeing the 

 need of a beef cattle wing, favor the erection of the same at an early 

 date. 



"Seeing the results of the training and opportunities offered to young 

 men in the school of agriculture; therefore, 



"Resolved, That we commend the work most heartily to the people 

 of the State, and especially to their sons. 



"Whereas, There is an urgent demand for the training of our daugh-

 States where such educational facilities are liberally provided; therefore, 



"Resolved, That we feel it is imperative that some provision be made, 

 at an early date, for the establishment of a course in domestic science and 

 home economics in our own agricultural school, so that it may be said 

 that the training of our daughters for their life work is as well provided 

 for as that of our sons. 



"Resolved, That owing to the great importance of the poultry indus- 

 try in this State and the demand for training in such work, we urge that 

 a com-se in poultiy raising be provided for in the regular agricultural 

 course. 



"Resolved, further. That in order to strengthen the work in the agri- 

 cultural school and broaden its power and influence, we commend to the 

 university authorities the favorable consideration of the work thus out- 

 lined by strengthening the agricultural faculty by such additions as may 

 be found necessary. 



"Realizing the urgent need for investigations in soil improvement, 

 corn and crop improvement, live stock feeding and dairy investigations; 

 therefore, 



"Resolved, That in order that the Indiana Experimental Station may 

 pursue such investigational work, we urge that the State Legislature, now 

 in session, make appropriations as provided for in Senate Bill No. 191 

 to the accomplishment of this end. 



"Be it further resolved, That we recommend that each member of this 

 Corn School and Stockmen's Convention, on their return home, circulate
