T h i s report w a s received for record. USE OF FIELD REFRIGERATOR (12) The Department of Agronomy has made arrangements with the United States Department of Agriculture for the use of a field refrigerator which belongs to the United States Department and which the latter will not need until May, 1929. The proposal is to bring the machine from Bloomington to Urbana to be used here in some of the Experiment Station projects, and to return the machine to Bloomington next spring. The representative of the United States Department suggests that the University take out fire and tornado insurance on this equipment during the time i is in our possession. Dean t Mumford concurs in this suggestion, and, therefore, I recommend that authority be given to take out the necessary insurance, the cost to be charged to the Department of Agronomy. O n motion of M r s . Evans, this recommendation w a s approved. SOY BEAN STORAGE TESTS (13) Sometime ago I authorized the Agricultural Experiment Station to make arrangements with Mr. Eugene Funk, the seed m a n of Bloomington, for the storage of 600 bushels of soy beans in our experiment storage bins on the south farm from about November I, 1028, to September I, 1929, to be used in a study of the storage, shrinkage, and artificial drying of farm crops. The only expense involved in connection with the use of these beans, at the time the proposal was put up to me, was the delivery of the beans from our bins to the railroad station after w e are through with them. (The beans were to be delivered to our bins by local growers.) Dean Mumford feels that w e should assume some responsibility in connection with this matter, chiefly the risk offire,inasmuch as the beans do not belong to us and their storage in our bins is to the University's advantage. Therefore, I recommend that the University insure these beans for $800 against any loss and that the cost be met from funds of the Department of Agronomy. O n motion of M r s . Evans, this recommendation w a s approved.
