102 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Other colleges and private commercial interests are making 

 such inroads on our present efficient corps of men that addition- 

 al funds must be made available in order to maintain the pres- 

 ent efficiency. Additional instructors must be provided to care 

 for the more than doubled number of students and for the new 

 lines of instruction demanded. More men must be had for re- 

 search. The demand for extension work from almost every 

 township in the state must be met by an additional force. New 

 buildings and new equipment must be provided. The establish- 

 ment of agricultural instruction in the public and normal schools 

 of the state and the training of teachers in these subjects should 

 be pushed as rapidly as possible. 



Passing every demand in review, and subjecting every item 

 to the closest scrutiny with a view to strict economy, we submit 

 the following recommendations, being convinced that none may 

 be omitted or reduced in amount without serious damage to the 

 interests at stake.
