AS the result of the apparent need
of the University for such a building,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed by the Dixie Dairymen at their
meeting here week before last:
Whereas, the college of agriculture
Of the Louisiana State University has
been of most valuable assistance in
furthering the dairy, as well as
state; and
Whereas, it's capacity for good
would be greatly enhanced by in
creased facilities to enlarge and take
care of a more up-to-date equipment,
| for teaching and demonstration work;
and
Whereas, the prosperity OF the
state depends most solely upon the
greater development of her agricul-
ture and live stock; therefore be 1t
Resolved, that it is the unanimous
sense Of the Dixie Dairymen's 3 Ass9-
lelatlon assent bled this seventh day
Of April, 1914, that All ayr IictsItural
building worthy of our greet state
should be erected on the University
campus, and be adequately equipped.
Be it further resolved, that this
association pledges itself to use
every legitimate means within Its
power to have the general assembly
of the state, at its next meeting, ap-
propriate an adequate amount OF
money to insure the early constrnc-
| ton and equipment of such agricul-
tural building.

sions as to the cloth, calls for q
| price of $14.10. No changes will be
made in the uniform for next year.
