MINUTES OF ADVISORY BOARD MEETING, JUNE 1 0 , 1899.

The meeting was called to order by President Bui rill at 2 p. m. There were present Messrs. J. F. Prather, from State Board of Agriculture,. H. B. Crurler, from State Dairymen's Association, and H. Augustine, from State Horticultural Society, F . L. Hatch, from Board of Trustees, and Professors Burrill and Davenport. Absent, W. H. Fulkerson, from Board of Trustees, and Professor Forbes. The Board having now many new members, Professor Burrill stated somewhat in full the function of the Advisory Board. The Director's report was read and after full discussion was recommended without change as read. Mr. Augustine suggested that a complete report of the horticultural work of the Experiment Station would furnish a desirable addition to the State Horticultural Report, which has an edition of 5,000 copies, and he asked that such a report be prepared by the Professor of Horticulture. This was approved. Mr. Augustine spoke of the necessity of the horticulturists keeping in closetouch with the orchards of the State, and spoke particularly of the destruction of apple trees by the previous winter. In this connection it was recommended that the horticultural department of the Station undertake tc examine and report upon the destruction of apple trees during the past winter, and that $100 be appropriated for the expenses of such investigation. This motion prevailed and the Board adjourned at 5 p. m.
