APPROPRIATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF DAIRY HUSBANDRY

(13) A recommendation that an assignment of $1,050 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Department of Dairy Husbandry for wages, to supplement the appropriation for the current fiscal year, so that the Department can place its milkers on a six-day schedule, instead of the present seven-day-a-week schedule, effective January 1, 1937. Provision for this has been made in the budget submitted by the College of Agriculture and the Agricultural Experiment Station for the next biennium, but it is desirable to make the change effective January 1, instead of July 1, 1937, for the reasons stated in a letter from the Dean and Director which is submitted herewith and which is being given to the Secretary of the Board for record.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mr. Barr, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Williams.
