Missouri Agricultural Report. 



3. That this Association heartily commends the splendid 

 achievements of the Department of Animal Husbandry in winning 

 the highest place in the students' judging contest at the recent 

 International Live Stock Show, and in winning so many valuable 

 prizes with Missouri bred cattle in the fat stock classes in the 

 leading shows of the past year. We recommend that the appro- 

 priation for this work be largely increased and every opportunity 

 be afforded our University for continuing this good work. 



4. We express our hearty appreciation to the Dean of the 

 Agricultural College and the Board of Curators for their many 

 courtesies, and especially for the excellent banquet enjoyed by 

 this Association. 



5. We also extend our thanks to the Missouri State Board of 

 Agriculture and Secretary, Geo. B. Ellis, for the very successful 

 programs and other valuable features of the Farmers' Week Con- 

 ventions. 



6. We urge his excellency, the Hon. Joseph Folk, and the 

 Board of Curators, to begin immediately the construction of the 

 agricultural building for which the last Legislature made the neces- 

 sary appropriation.
