We beg the privilege of stating why we went beyond our appropriations. (Reference is made to the Executive Committee's Report, for re-distributing the appropriations, etc.) It seemed indispensable for the next year's operations, that much plowing for next year's crops should be performed last fall, that the utmost precaution should be taken to prevent the seeding of weeds, etc. We respectfully call attention to the farms themselves to relieve us of reaching beyond the limits set for our expenditures. We herewith present plans, specifications and estimates for barn on Stock Farm :
