$100,000. We therefore urge that the farm economics work of the Iowa 

 station be expanded in proportion to its great importance to the state. 



16. We recommend that all the costs of construction, maintenance 

 and relocation of primary roads be paid out of the primary road funds. 



17. We favor more competition in the packing house business rather 

 than less. 



18. We favor restricted immigration until a comprehensive selective 

 system can be put in force. 



19. We extend to Prof. John M. Evvard our deepest sympathy in his 

 illness which has made it impossible for him to attend our last two meet- 

 ings, and express the hope that he will be recovered sufficiently to be 

 with us in 1923. 



The President: This, I believe, closes the reports of the com- 

 mittees. This brings us up to the election of officers for the en- 

 suing year. Gentlemen, what is your pleasure? The first is the 

 nomination of men to fill the presidency of this office. Nomina-

 organizations that the state has ever had. It has done more for 

 the state generally, and especially the shipper, than any other, and

 the ensuing year. All in favor of that motion signify it by saying

Mr. Ames: I move that Mr. R. M. Gunn be our vice-president. 

 (Motion seconded.) 



The President : It has been moved and seconded that R. M.

 to the motion signify it by saying aye. Contrary, no. Mr. Gunn 

 is unanimously elected vice-president for the ensuing year. The 

 next in order is your treasurer. 



Mr. White: I move the nomination of our present treasurer. 

 (Motion seconded.) 



The President: It has been moved and seconded that Charlie
