Over one-halfof all fruits and vegetables grown in Michigan are now sold to processors. The consuming public with each passing year is expressing a greater preference for canned and frozen foods, and the per capita consumption of the same is increasing while the per capita consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is decreasing. "Several states, notably California, Wisconsin, New York and Illinois, wnich compete with Michigan in the market for processed foods, have provided extensive facilities for research Into new varieties 01 fruits and vegetables and into processing problems and techniques. Growers and processors in these states have already realized substantial gains in revenue as a result of these programs. "As an example, California, which a few years ago had relatively little strawberry production, now leads the nation In this important crop. Much oi the credit for this advance is due to the introduction oi" the heavy fruiting 'University1 varieties developed at the University of California .Davis campus. The farm value of strawberries in the state in 1953 was $27,000,000— about 15 times greater than in "There exists a grave danger that Michigan will fall behind in this important field of re- search unless comparable facilities and programs are adopted here. Our central location, proxiinity to market, and favorable climatic conditions will avail us nothing, unless our varities and processing techniques keep pace with competing states. "TTHERiLFORE, Bill Ir RESOLVED by the Michigan State Horticultural Society in meeting assembled this 8th day of December, 195ky that Michigan State College be urged to vigorously pursue the comprehensive program of research into new varieties of fruits and vegetables suitable for processing and into processing methods and techniques in order that Michigan growers and processors may obtain their fair share of the national market in future years• "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary be instructed to forward a copy of this resolu- tion to President Hannah of Michigan State College.11 •On motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to approve all New Business* AiJDITlQML ITEMS Resignations Resignations and Terminations 1.

Construction of the library is proceeding at a pace that will require substantially more funds in the current fiscal year than will be available from the appropriation. As of now, we have spent all but $2ii3*OOO of the $2,500,000 already appropriated for this project. The Board should decide as to the desirability of asking the present legislature and the Governor for an immediate appropriation .to take care of the building costs between now and July 1, estimated to be an additional #750,000. On motion of Hr» Mueller, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to authorize the administrative officers to request the Governor and the legislature for an appropriation of §1,000,000 from the s funds to continue construction on the library. 2.

This additional fee is to be earmarked initially for an addition to the Olin Memorial Health Center and subsequent thereto for the construction or installation of facilities for the general use of the student body that should not be paid for out of public funds.
