President  R. S. Shaw, 
East Lansing, Mich. 
Dear President  Shaw:-

"November  k,  1921*

of Agriculture: 

I wish to submit the following  items for  consideration by the Board 

Transfers and Appointments: 

(Decker trans 
ferred*

Mr. Roy E. Decker, to be transferred as County Agent  from Eaton to 

penny trans- i 
|f erred* 

Mr* R. W* Tenny, to be transferred from the position  of County Club ie€wl#« 

Leader in Eaton to CountyAgent  in the same county, effective December 1st, 1921* 

Vining trans 
ferred* 

Agent, effective December  1st, 1921* 

Mr* Keats K* Vining, to be transferred from Emmet  to Kent as County 

Carrie Moore 
transferred! 

Miss Carrie M* Moore was formerly  appointed as County  Club Leader in 
Schoolcraft  from July  1st to  October 31st*  We wish this appointment  extended 
until December 31, 1921* 

Grace Hitch-? 
cock employ 
ed for 6 wks 

A vacancy  in Mr* Turner's staff made it necessary to  employ  additional 

help to  carry out  schedules with four or more School Commissioners  in the 
Upper Peninsula*  Miss Grace M* Hitchcock was  employed to take care of this 
emergency for six weeks beginning October 15th, at #2100 per year. 
to have this action  confirmed* 

I would like 

Turner and 
one assist 
ant to at 
tend Live 
Stock Show 

During the  International Live Stock Show in Chicago, a Judging team 

was  chosen through Boys»' and Girls • Club  contests to  represent Michigan and 
between forty  and fifty  other achievement  club members will attend*  The respon 
sibility  of taking charge of this group is on Mr. Turner's shoulders, and the 
parents permit their children to go with the understanding that he will be with 
them personally.  Both boys and girls will he attend,  consequently  one of the 
women on Mr* Turner's staff will be needed to assist him*  I wish to have the 
expenses of Mr. Turner and one  of his assistants paid while taking charge of 
this group at the Chicago International Live Stock Show*  A similar situation 
had to be  cared for with the national Dairy  Show, in.which there was not an 
opportunity to previously  secure authorization from the Board* 

Mumford's 
salary to be 
pd*until 
Hov*30th* 

It was intended, I believe, that Dr. Mumford should be paid full 

salary until November  30th.  The Federal Office could not pay his salary  after 
October 31st, while on leave of absence.  The Federal portion of his salary 

for November at $1$0Q per year  should be authorized to be paid from Smith-
Lever funds* 

Very  truly yours, 

R. J* Baldwin, 

Extension director* 

Kalkaska & 
Antrim Cos* 
combine* 

P.S. Kalkaska and Antrim counties have been placed under  one agent, Mr* L. L* 
Drake* 

The two counties cooperate in the payment  of his salary  of I^OOO** 

On motion  of  Mr.  Woodman,  Director  Baldwin  was  authorized  to  audit 

for  payment  such  traveling  expense  items  as  may  be  incurred  by  Dr *Mumford  in 

finishing  up  certain  College  engagements,  as  he  may  think  a d v i s a b l e.
