SETTLEMENT WITH TENANT ON SOUTH CARTER-PENNELL FARM (20) A recommendation from the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of the Experiment Station that the Board of Trustees authorize its representative in the management of the Carter-Pennell farms to make settlement with Mr. H a r r y Irvin, tenant on the south farm, on the basis of accepting 32 per cent of the $175 due for 1934 cash rent, or $56 plus an additional $15 for the shelling of 1200 bushels of corn sold in February and $8 for ten bushels of corn which leaked out of the crib and was eaten by his livestock. T h i s recommendation is made in recognition of the general practice of farm owners in making concessions to their tenants because of serious chinch bug infestation and severe drought. I concur in this recommendation. On motion of Mr. Mayer, this settlement was authorized.
