532 ANNUAL, REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



tion that the college will do all in its power to earry out the sug- 

 gestions of Mr. Martin. 



The SECRETARY: If the members of the Board think that Octo- 

 ber would be the best time for the meeting to be held and that it 

 should be held in Centre county, a motion that a committee be 

 appointed composed of Messrs. Beaver and ^Yoodward, to determine 

 whether it shall be held at State College or Bellefonte, would fix 

 the whole thing in one motion. 



MR. CLARK: I move to amend as follows: That this meeting 

 shall take place in October at such time as the Deputy Secretary 

 shall fix. 



MR. WOODWARD: I accept the amendment, that the meeting 

 be in October and held at Bellefonte or at the State College. 



MR. MARTIN: I have pretty thoroughly gone over the situation. 

 We find that the fairs, which are held in the different counties of 

 the State, have nearly all been held by the latter part of October, 

 with a very few exceptions, and it seems that either the latter 

 part of October or the beginning of November would be a most 

 suitable time. 



The CHAIRMAN: I think we ought to give that a good deal of 

 consideration and I think we ought to vote on the first proposition 

 first, that is, as to the selection of a place. 



MR. WOODWARD : The change from June to October or Novem- 

 ber, has my hearty approval.

MR. McHENRY: It strikes me that we have only one question 

 before this body, that is, that we hold the meeting at Bellefonte. 



Question was put and it was agreed to meet at Bellefonte. 



MR. FEXSTEMAKER: Wouldn't the lateness of the season for 

 the holding of the meeting be against the seeing of the crops grow- 

 ing on the experimental farm and wouldn't that be a great disad- 

 vantage? 



DR. ARMSBY: There is not any one time that you can see 

 everything growing there. In the latter part of October a great 

 deal of the plot work would not be in condition to be seen direct 

 in the field,, but with the class of materials we could have there I 

 dont think that would be necessary. The plots are there and you 

 can see the matter of making experiments. Of course, it would 

 not be quite the same as to see the plots actually growing, but some 

 would be visible.
