FARM REPORT.

U N I V E R S I T Y OF ILLINOIS, March 7, 1892.

Dr. T. J. Burrill, Acting Begenf, SIR: I have the honor to present the following report of the operations, of the University farms for the three months ending March 1:

Receipts Expenditures Credit balance , 8507 78 493 02' $.14 76

Little work has been practicable beyond the care of the live stock. In general, this has been in good health and condition. The barn on the stock farm needs a new roof and repainting, with a few minor repairs. I t is also desirable to have some increase of room for accommodation of workmen on the farm. The arrangements since the burning of the old farm house have not been satisfactory. I respectfully request t h a t such repairs and improvements as are needed may be authorized to be made under the direction of the Farm Committee. The funds may be taken from the farm account.

G. E. MORROW.

I submit herewith the report of the Board of Direction of the Experiment Station:
