chairman Of the agricultural commit
tee. at the meeting here today. one
1f unusual interest.
The report recommends several
additions TO the Experiment Sta

husbandrv and an instructor in vege-
table gardening and rural engineer
ing. Another recommendation is for

College Poultry Department.
at will be remembered that at thu
June meeting. 1915. $1,000 was set
aside to pay the salary Of an instruc-
tor in poultry. It has been found im-
possible to secure a suitable man for
this amount. In consequence, little
progress has been made in developing
the poultry instruction at the college.
"The committee on agriculture
recommends that the Dean ar agri-
culture be asked to recommend man
IN poultry husbandry, who is compe-
tent not only to teach and develop the
plant at the college but also to do
the much needed extension work IN
poultry as well. Such man should
probably command salary from
$500 to $4,000 a year, and if engaged
the salary would be paid proportion
ally from College and Extension
funds
"Tbe poultry department, as plan
ned. is for instruction entirely. lhe
Txperiment Station funds are occu-
MED to the limit. and should not be
asked to carry any Of the expense OIL
such a department In consequence
II we are to provide instruction IN
poultry keeping, It's support should
come from college funds entirely with
the exception Of that portion OF the
salary that could be paid from eXten-
sion funds. The committee feels that
there should be from $4,000 to $4,000
year set aside for this work, as this
IS the minimum amount that woulC
produce satisfactory results in this
important subject.
"The committee recommends tnat
to secure uniformity the salary o.
Prof. McCue and Prof Thompson be
raised from S2400 to S25O0, and thai
Mr.. Pailthorp's salary be raised from
$1,000 and S1400, and that he be pro
NOTED from an instructor TO assist
ant professor. these increases to come
from current agricultural funds.
