28 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART I 



President Cameron declared Mr. A. R. Corey duly elected secretary 

 for the ensuing year. 



Mr. Sears McHenry moved that Mr. F. E. Sheldon be elected treas- 

 urer to succeed himself for the ensuing year at a salary of $250 per 

 year and traveling expenses as provided by law, and that he be required 

 to give a personal bond of $100,000 to be approved by the board and 

 filed with the secretary. Motion was seconded by Secretary Corey and 

 unanimously adopted. 



President Cameron declared Mr. Sheldon of Ringgold county duly 

 elected treasurer for the ensuing year. 



Mr. Pike moved that the executive committee be authorized to employ 

 a superintendent of grounds at not to exceed $1,800 per year. 



Mr. C. A. Tow moved that the executive committee recommend a list 

 of superintendents for the various departments and report at the after- 

 noon meeting. Motion was seconded by Mr. Davis and carried. 



The matter of fixing the dates for the 1923 Iowa State Fair was dis- 

 cussed by the board. They were informed that the executive com- 

 mittee had claimed the same relative dates at the meeting of the Inter- 

 national Association of fairs held in Toronto, Canada, on November 29th. 



Mr. McHenry moved that the dates for the 1923 Iowa State Fair be 

 set for August 22 to 31 inclusive, August 22 and 23 to be preparation 

 days and the same admission fee charged as at the 1922 fair. Motion 

 was seconded by Mr. Hoffman and unanimously adopted. 



Mr. R. F. O'Donnell of Mason City, representing the county agents 

 and Mr. John A. Day, special representative of the Iowa Beef Producers 

 association, appeared before the board and presented the request of 

 the two organizations mentioned above, for better accommodations to 

 house the boys and girls' calf club exhibit and the boys and girls' 

 pig club exhibit. They were of the opinion that at least 400 additional 

 pens should be provided for the pig club exhibit and stalls for not less 

 than 750 head of calves as they anticipate this number will be on exhibi- 

 tion at the 1923 Iowa State Fair. They also stated that they realized 

 it would be necessary to secure a state appropriation to make these 

 improvements and that they would be glad to co-operate with the boaid 

 in securing such an appropriation. 



Mr. O'Donnell also suggested that it would be more satisfactory if a 

 judging program was arranged so that the pigs and calves would not 

 be judged at the same time as it is quite necessary for the county agent 

 or club leader to be with the boys and girls at the time the judging of 

 both takes place. He also indicated that they should have at least a 

 day and one-half for judging the baby beeves at the 1923 State Fair. 

 The suggestion was also made that the privileges of the boys and girls 

 dormitories be limited to the boys and girls exhibiting live stock and 

 on the demonstration teams. Mr. O'Connell also stated that at the 

 county agents' conference at Ames a short time ago, steps were taken 

 to increase the exhibit in the pure bred heifer division. 



The board recessed until 1:30 p. m. 



The board having accepted the invitation of the Greater Des Moines 

 Committee, proceeded to the Des Moines club where lunch was served. 

 Short addresses were given by President Cameron, Secretary Corey, E.
