UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

As requests t h a t I attend and address Farmers' Institutes and other agricultural meetings are coming to me in considerable numbers, I respectfully ask an expression from the Board of Trustees as to their wish in this matter. In so far as such work can be done without injury to the work at the University, I believe it desirable, and I am willing to do all t h a t is practicable. With the additional work caused by the Agricultural Experiment Station, and the fact t h a t the time of Mr. Hunt, who last winter very satisfactorily conducted my class-work during my absence at institutes, is now fully occupied in Station work, it will be impossible for me to do so much as I did one year ago. Respectfully submitted, Gr. E. MORROW, Professor of Agriculture.
