REAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE

(10) In May, 1928, the Board appropriated $1,238.15, this being unappropriated balances from receipts in the Department of Horticulture, for the publication of four manuscripts prepared by the Department. There remains a balance of $1,120.41 in this fund, due to the fact that three of the four manuscripts were withdrawn from publication after further consideration. Dean Mumford recommends that the balance be reappropriated for the publication of two manuscripts, viz., 1. A Comparision of the Transpiration Rates of Twenty-One Deciduous Fruit Species, by V. W . Kelley, estimated at $300. 2. Inheritance in Lettuce, by C. E. Durst, estimated at $725. I concur in this recommendation. O n motion of M r .
