Gentlemen: The Vernon County
Agricultural committee herewith sub
mits the first report of such nature
in this county.
| At a meeting held last June in con-
junction with Mr.. Campian, district
Superintendent of county agricultural
agents, the plan was explained, and
| it was decided to engage the services
of Paul +. Graf, for a term of two
years. Later when the proper con-
tract forms had been drawn up, Mr.,
Campian came here again and went
over the same, explaining them, and
| left them for tie signatures of the
entire committee. which is to be COM
posed of five members, instead of
three after this county board meeting.
The county agricultural agent gets
annually $4,000 and necessary travel
! ing and Office expenses. Of this the
University of Wisconsin pays 5000
and travelling expenses, while the eoUn-
| ty pays ST 100 and furnishes office
and Office expenses.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Graf
has been in the hospital the past two
weeks, his detailed report of the
amount and nature of his work can
not be given at this time but will be
given full publicity as soon as he is
able to do so. 1t probably will come
out with the published report of the
proceedings of the county board of
supervisors.
The county agricultural committee
have in mind the holding of an eight
weeks short course in agriculture, at
the county normal this winter for
young men, and others who wish it.
This is to be conducted by the county
agricultural agent,
| We would recommend the appropfi-
alton of the following amount to car
nv on the work of the county agricul-
tural agent for the coming year:
County's share of salary. =. 81 10000
| Oti1ce expense ............. ZuU.OO
Short course and incidentals. 10000
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 10000

whom was referred the Recommended
ton of the Register of Deeds have
had the same under consideration and
make the following recommendation.
That the new tract index Vol. 3, be
made and that the Register of Deeds
be allowed cents for each entry as
provided by law, same to be paid out
of the general fund. We also recon-
mend that he be allowed 5000 per year
clerk hire instead of $500, as it is at
the present time, commencing January
