1935 ] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 441 surplus of $8,393, which is set up as a part of the Department's resources. T h e policies recommended by the Commission would reduce this surplus by $3490. 2. A reduction in the sales of fluid milk. At present all milk produced by the University herd is sold as fluid milk. T h e Commission recommends a reduction in volume of fluid milk sales which would cause some of the milk to be used in manufactured dairy products. This would decrease sales and lower the receipts by $800. It is clear that adoption of the policies recommended by the Commission would reduce the estimated resources of the Department of Dairy Husbandry by a total of $4,290. Notwithstanding this the Head of the Department and the Dean of the College recommend approval of these policies by the Board of Trustees as a basis for the University dairy's commercial operations. Questions concerning these operations have been raised frequently for many years. T h e report of the Commission suggests a way of settling matters which is agreeable to the local milk producers association. Operating on this basis, the Department will require an addition of about $4,300 to its budget before the end of the fiscal year, although it is not needed at this time. O n m o t i o n o f M r .
