1899] PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 215 Your Committee asks that it be authorized to carry out this work herein outlined, the same to be paid for from the special State appropriation of $2,000, transferred by action of the Board to its control. Your Committe further recommends that the expense of repairing the farm house on the north farm be paid from the special fund for repairs, etc. F . L. F . M. MARY ALICE HATCH, MCKAY, TURNER CARRIEL, ASBURY ABBOTT, " Committee on Agriculture. SOUTH FARM. URBANA, ILLINOIS, Sept. 12, 1899. To the Board of Irustees of the University of Illinois, Your Committee on Agriculture recommends that new lightning rods be placed upon the barn on the south farm at an expense of $25, and that a porch be added to the house and the windows repaired at a cost of about $80. It has been deemed best to defer building the fence for which an appropriation of $78 has been made. Your Committee directs the attention of the Board to the fact that the whole amount of the repairs recommended for the south farm, for which a rental of $2,000 is paid annually, is but $190, although this farm has been hitherto so neglected that treble that amount is actually necessary, but not now recommended. The sums herein asked for should be taken from the revenue of the farm. The Committee would also recommend that so soon as the track on Illinois Field be completed the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds be authorized to allow the tenant of the south farm to haul such amount of cinders as can be spared for the repairs of roadways at the farm. This can now be done without expense to the University and will save future expenditure and damage. The Committee has also authorized the tenant to haul half worn posts from the rubbish heap on the north farm for the repair of fences around the house and barn on the south farm. These posts are to be hauled away under the superintendence of Professor Holden, as the best may be needed for repairs on the north farm. Respectfully submitted, F . L. F . M.

That as by previous action of the Board the salaries of the Experiment Station investigators and of the instructors in technical agriculture have been divided between the two funds specifically appropriated by law to these two interests, we recommend further division in the following manner:
