ADJUSTMENT IN BUDGET OF DEPARTMENT OF A G R O N O M Y FOR CORN P E R F O R M A N C E TESTS

(4) A recommendation from the Dean of the College of Agriculture t h a t the 1936-1937 budget of the Department of Agronomy be revised to provide for testing corn performance, a new activity of the Department. This activity will be practically self-supporting financially, but it is desirable to set up a separate account for this work. T h e Department estimates annual receipts of $2,325 and annual expenses of $2,309; for the balance of the present fiscal year the estimate of expense is $750, although the receipts will approximate $2,325. The following provisions are recommended: 1. Authorization to credit all receipts from corn performance tests to a revolving account, the balance to be carried forward a t the close of each fiscal year. The estimate for the current year to June 30 is $2,325. 2. Approval of a budget of expenditures for this work for the remainder of the fiscal year to June 30 as follows to be appropriated out of the revolving account: Wages Travel Total $600 150 $750

On motion of Dr. Meyer, the setting up of this revolving account was authorized and the appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland.
