To TIE County Board. Dodgeviue. Wis.
At the request Of the Chairman OF
the Board, MIR. Whitman. We the I'M
dersigned visited the Iowa County
Of June, 1914. And found everything
IN satisfactory shape except the cola
storage building. We were especially
pleased with the condition of the crops
and the good show OF cattle
We think that too much credit ana
praise cannot cannot be given 70 Mr. and
attention % the inmates Of both places
Respectfully.

We, the undersigned being the COM
mltIee appointed by your chairman 10
visit the asylum i'm the month OF Sep
tember did accordingly make such visit
port as follows:
Ne IhuuU lne conditions IN and about
th9 asylum good and believe the physi-
cal comfort OF the inmates of both
places well provided for We We're
SHOWN system OF bookkeeping form
ulated as we understand by the State
board OF control that impressed US very
IaNorablN. In fact we think that had
the books been kept in that way in the
past the county and officials would
have been saved the Investigation that
was held some years ago and an the
hard feeling attendant thereto.
We round flock sheen a
good as they might be-Should be cdlled
or disposed Of and replaced b. better
ones, large bunch of hogs some good
and many unthrifty 4 nerd OF COWS
that We're good-did not see the horses
Or poultry The piece Of land devoted
30 gardening and berries looked good to
US. also a potato field OF about 10 acres
We We're led 10 believe by remarks of
Mr.. Parkinson that the State University
had offered its assistance as to some
of the farm problems but were not en-
Outraged. In regard TO that we differ
with the management of the institu-
uon- We saw too much timothy sod
and little or no clover, in fact, the
seeding we saw was pronounced fail
ure We venture the guess that the
land needs lime. neither did we see any
alfalfa. We think that farm before
now should have had considerable
acreage of alfalfa We think the Uni
Yerslty could help in these matters.
We found The hog house dilapidated-
rotung, no corn crib. no machine shed.
no orchard There Will have To be some
buildings erected in the near future
and when built should be up-to-date
and built to save labor as much as
should be the aim of the institution to
build up a herd of fun bluoded dairy
COWS. And when the time comes, to
erect q COW barn with all modern
equipments.
Ali Of which is respectfully submitted
