THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION. 107 



i — Not comparable as this includes non-technical teaching. 



j — Strictly comparable with Illinois. Includes College at 

 Ithaca and station at Geneva, but does not include three Schools 

 of Agriculture, nor $45,000 for State Veterinary College. Ask- 

 ing now for $300,000 for the College. 



k — $1,602,000 yet to come under the plan adopted, not in- 

 cluding Veterinary College $130,000. 



1 — The only institution not visited but included as it is in 

 the class with Illinois. 



It should be noted that the amount recommended herein 

 to be appropriated for new buildings at the Illinois College of 

 Agriculture is less than 40 per cent of that provided for in New 

 York and when the buildings planned in both states are com- 

 pleted, New York will have $2.75 invested in buildings against 

 $1.00 in Illinois, although her agricultural interests do not even 

 approximate those of Illinois in extent. 



While not technically a part of the College, the work of 

 the State Entomologist is so closely related and of such great 

 importance to all departments of agriculture that we wish to 

 bespeak most careful consideration of his requirements. We 

 recommend the appropriation of $38,000 asked by him for this 

 work. 



Respectfully submitted, 



F. I. MANN, Gilman, 111., Chairman. 

 RALPH ALLEN, Delevan, 111. 

 C. A. Ewing, Decatur, 111. 

 H. J. SCONCE, Sidell, 111. 

 W. N. RUPP, Blue Island, 111. 



On December 5 a meeting of the General Agricultural
