APPROPRIATION OF RECEIPTS OF DIXON SPRINGS EXPERIMENT STATION (10) T h e University, through the Agricultural Experiment Station, operates an experiment station at Dixon Springs in Pope and Johnson counties, Illinois. This area consists of approximately 5,000 acres belonging to the Federal Government and is made available to the University for experimental stock farming. T h e r e are 27 major buildings of a value of more than $1,000 each and approximately 40 minor structures on this land. In addition to a superintendent, there are 10 employees constituting the regular labor staff, and at various times a total of approximately 30 men and women have been employed on a temporary basis. T h e 1941-1942 budget of the Dixon Springs Station for expense, equipment, and wages totals $29,340, of which $7,160 represents the appropriation from State funds, $14,780 from estimated receipts, and $7,400 from Federal funds. T h e r e is also $5,870 of salaries budgeted to the Dixon Springs Station, $750 of which is from State funds, the balance being budgeted from Federal funds. A statement of the budget for expense, equipment, and wages with expenditures to March 1, 1942, is attached. The operations of this station are not yet stabilized to a point comparable with other activities of the Agricultural Experiment Station, so that accurate estimation of budget needs is difficult. Costs of operation and of feed for stock have increased over the amount estimated when the budget was made up. On the other hand, receipts to March 1, 1042, total $18,749, an excess of $3,969 *The asterisk indicates assignments now recommended for approval by the Board.
