LINDSEY FARM ASSIGNED TO A N I M A L HUSBANDRY (7) A letter from Professor H. W . Mumford as to the use of the eighty-five acres recently acquired by i h e University, known as the Lindsey Farm,* lying to the west of the sheep b a r n : March 8, 1917. President Edmund J. James, University of Illinois

DEAR PRESIDENT J A M E S :

I submit the following plan for the use, by the Animal Husbandry D e partment, of the Lindsey eighty-five acres, recently acquired by the University: First, that thirty acres be set aside for quarters for the swine division of the department. T h e present plant occupied by the swine husbandry division comprises approximately twenty-five acres. I t is, however, in such close proximity to the proposed new cattle feeding and storage plant that it will be necessary to move it as soon as practicable in order to make room for the beef cattle interests close to their buildings. Second, that the remaining fifty-five acres be used for the growing of silage corn, for pasture, and for alfalfa meadow. Third, that the farm, which at present is in a run-down condition, be cropped and liberally fertilized for the next two years, in order to bring it back to a high state of cultivation and fertility. Fourth, that, because there seems to be some question concerning the south line of the Lindsey tract, the office of the Supervising Architect be asked to secure a survey of the land and take steps legally to establish the lines.
