REVISION OF REGULATIONS C O N C E R N I N G ADVISORY COMMITT E E S IN AGRICULTURE

(19) The following recommendations from Dean Davenport of the College of Agriculture: 1. That advisory committees be provided for the following lines of work: Soils Farm Crops Animal Husbandry Dairy Husbandry Horticulture Floriculture Farm Mechanics Farm Organization and Management 2. That one member be selected from each of the above advisory committees to constitute an advisory committee for the College of Agriculture as a whole. 3. That these committees be composed of Illinois farmers recommended by the President of the University to the Board of Trustees, appointed from among the members of the agricultural association or associations most representative of the interests involved. 4. That the membership of the various committees consist of from three to five. 5. That all nominations be made anew annually. The present plan provides for only one vacancy each year, but inasmuch as some advisory committees should be composed of members from more than one association, it would seem wise to institute a plan which would arouse the interest of each association at least once every year.
