The following resolution was unanimously approved by the delegates attending the annual meeting of the Michigan Farm Bureau in November 1958: The State Board of Agriculture is the governing board of Michigan State University, Michigan farmers have traditionally depended upon the Michigan State institution at East Lansing for educational and research services. Michigan State for more than a century has trained young people from the farms of Michigan in the fundamental and scientific aspects of agriculture/ Its '.4-year and short courses have pointed multitudes of farm boys and girls to greater lifetime opportunities• Agricultural research is more important than ever before. Two of the six members of the State Board of Agriculture are elected for six-year terms at each biennial April election. We call the attention of Michigan farmers to the fact that agricultural representatives are fast being eliminated from the Board of control of Michigan State University--only one farm.—oriented member remains. Farmers should seek to restore their representation on the State Board of Agriculture at the coining Spring Election. We need to exert our influence at County and State conventions of both political parties next February, serve as ddegates whenever possible and vote our preference next April 6.

Recommendation from Dean Cowden and Secretary McDonel for approval of the construction of an isolation barn by the Michigan Artificial Breeders Association on the property which they occupyon Forest Road. The barn is 2hA x 7^" and will cost approximately $25,000. This building will be paid for by the Michigan Artificial Breeders Association. Discussion of the problem created by the statement by Mr •.Miller, State Controller, to the effect that Michigan State University will not receive any additional allotments of the appropriation made by the last legislature prior to March 1. This means that we will have to rely upon student receipts, miscellaneous income, and borrowings for the next 90 days or more. The Board sx its last meeting authorized the borrowing of $900,000 for November and $2,555jOOQ for December, The November borrowing was not necessary since we received one additional month's allocation from the State Treasurer. Unless otherwise instructed, we will proceed to borrow immediately the amount authorized to be borrowed for December. We can decide with reference to borrowing for January, February, and later months at the next meeting. It might be desirable to specifically authorize the borrowing of $2,555,000 from the Michigan National Bank at an interest rate of yf>. This will take care of our December needs. 1 ADDITIONAL ITEMS, continued Miscellaneous, continued December 18, 1958 4083 Approval awarding bids on Grounds Maintenance -Building 8.
