PROCEEDINGS STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE 31 



for 500 head of calves. It would be inexpensive construction, as the two 

 main entrances were completed at the time the first section was built. 



At this time the various propositions were thoroughly discussed by the 

 board. It was the unanimous opinion of the board that if the additional 

 pens were to be added to the swine pavilion that the present judging 

 ring should be moved to the center so that when the barn was completed 

 the pens would entirely surround the judging ring. The board also agreed 

 that the most economical plan for taking care of the calf club exhibit 

 would be to complete the sheep barn and use the new section for housing 

 this exhibit. Mr. Davis moved that the executive committee have the 

 architect prepare sketches for the completion of the sheep barn and for 

 moving the judging ring in the swine pavilion and providing the addi- 

 tional pens. And that the executive committee be requested to present 

 the matter to the legislature for their consideration. 



Motion was seconded by Mr. McHenry and unanimously adopted. 



President Cameron informed the board that the executive committee 

 had transmitted to the governor a request in the form of a budget asking 

 for $2,000 per year to take care of insurance premiums on buildings and 

 $15,000 annually for improvements, maintenance and repairs to buildings 

 on the state fair grounds. The purpose of the latter item is to replace 

 the roofs on the present swine barn, grandstand and porches of the ad- 

 ministration building and to make the necessary repairs to the gravel 

 roof on machinery hall, etc. 



The secretary presented a communication from the Hawkeye Fair and 

 Exposition at Fort Dodge and also the traffic manager of the secretary of 

 the chamber of commerce at Fort Dodge, in which they request that 

 some arrangements be made whereby the live stock exhibited at the 

 Hawkeye Fair and Exposition might be accepted at the Iowa State Fair 

 Saturday morning instead of Friday morning. The matter was thor- 

 oughly discussed by the board and the conclusion was reached that it 

 would be impossible to complete the judging at the Iowa State Fair un- 

 less the boys' and girls' pigs and calves were judged the first week of 

 the fair, but that it would be satisfactory to accept the live stock entered 

 in the open classes any time Saturday, August 25th. 



Mr. Curtiss moved that Rule 15 of the 1922 premium list be revised to 

 read as follows: "Exhibitors of live stock not making a circuit of state, 

 county or district fairs should be on the grounds not later than 9:00 

 o'clock a. m., Friday, August 24th, and all exhibits other than live stock 

 not later than 6:00 o'clock p. m., Thursday, August 23d, except as other- 

 wise provided for in special rules." 



Motion was seconded by Mr. Pike and adopted. 



Mr. McHenry moved that all unfinished business and any other busi- 

 ness necessary in making arrangements for properly conducting the 1923 

 Iowa State Fair be delegated to the executive committee with power 

 to act. 



Motion was seconded by Mr. Ferris and carried. 



On motion duly made, seconded and carried the board adjourned to 

 meet at the call of the president.
