The timber is very thin consisting of ash and elm principally with some scattering beech, maple, etc. I hereby recommend that these lands be turned over to the Farm Department for agricultural purposes and that the standing timber be entirely removed at once. The Farm Department has already stumped, drained and put a large part of its portion of this tract under the plow.

Brown, Sec'y, Michigan Agricultural College East Lansing, Michigan. Dear Sir:- Deed I am enclosing you herewith^frcm The Munlsing Company to the Michigan State Board of Agriculture, conveying section 3^^6-21, excepting 20 acres in the ST.W.J of the IT.w.i of this section, which is the Village of Chatham loca- tion and was set aside for this purpose. You willnote that we. have reserved the timber and it is our understanding that we are to cut the timber off at the rate of 160 acre* per year. If I am not right in this matter, I would be very glad to have you advise me. We can cut the timber off faster or can take it off to suit the convenience of your Board. In any event the timber should not be cut until such time as your Board is ready, and as soon as the timber is removed, either seed the land or do something with it so as to prevent a second growth of weeds and other objectionable matter. Will you please sign the receipt attached to Deed for our files and return it to us. Letter veying Dee< of land f03 U.P.Sxperi- ment stati< ^ Yours truly, C.V.R.Townsend, Land Agent. The Secretary presented the following report of Dean Shaw in response to the previous resolution of the Board concerning a plan for encouraging the growing of alfalfa: Secretary A.M. Brown, December 8, 1910. Report of Dean skaw in regard, to Alfalfa grawing. East Lansing, Michigan, Dear Sir:- The following is a statement relative to the attempts that haure been made in the past by the Experiment Station and Earm Department tending to stimulate an interest in alfalfa growing in the state of Michigan. A number of publications have X)een issued by the station relating to quite extensive experiments which have been conducted here at tne institution. Bulletin 225 which contains the experience of a large number of farmers is rathEr unfortunate in viewof the fact that a large number of failures are reported, and failures could logically be expected in the undertaking of any new SeorK of this Kind. Since the issuance of this publication cooperative work has X)een taken up with fiftyor more individuals in various parts of the state in which small quantities of seed were furnished free by the institution with the understanding:thatthe work mas to be cooperative and that the operator was to follow suggestions made by the station and report results. A system of this fclnd is not altogether satisfactory owing to the fact that the trials are very often neglected by the busy farmer. It is not a"commendable plan either to furnish seed gratis as the man who receives the same does not appreciate it and it also soon leads to demands that cannot be met. I In the Farm Crops office at the present time there is on record a list of several hundred correspondents in various parts of the state who have re- ceived advice from the Experiment station and reports are being secured from these men relative to the methods they have employed and the success or failure they have met with. I believe the most satisfactory plan of all is now being tried out, which consists of the organization of alfalfa clubs in various places, we are now trying out six clubs; four in the neighborhood of Port Huron, one near • a ;' IB "- ; ii i •if If '• I •!! -• 1* id |; , Mi II :ii •.! Ii •I'I !• k KalamazQO and one in Montcalm county. In these places at least a dozen farmers were required to organize and pledjge themselves to attempt to grow not less than one ; acre of alfalfa on each farm. As soon as an arrangement of this kind is made the college agrees to send one of its extension men to the.community to discuss [ methods of culture, etc., look over the farms, pick out suitable locations, caution against undesirable conditions and advise relative to the preparation of the soil, seeding, etc. so far as this plan has X>een tried out it seems to be meeting with success and those engaged in the enterprise are very enthusiastic. : The plan we have in mind is to extend this organization, more particularly in the upper part of the Lower peninsula than in the southern part. I do not think that it will necessarily follow that the attention of ; the men engaged in this work will be confined solely to alfalfa growing. Their efforts will undoubtedly be directed to the betterment of agricultural conditions < •• ' generally and they will be brought into closer touch with the College and or- , ganizations of one kind and another that will be of mutual benaf it. Yours truly, R.S.Shaw.

A MEETING OF THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE WAS HELD AT THE GRISWOLD HOUSE-IN DETROIT ON THE ABOVE DATE, WITH THE FOLLOWING MEMBERS PRESENT: President Snyder, Judge Carpenter, Messrs. Graham, Wallace, watertoury. and Doherty. . The minutes of the previous meeting were approved without reading. President Snyder made tne following report in regard to appointments: Feb. 15, 1911. TO THE HONORABLE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE: I beg leave to report with reference to employees as follows: Positions made vacant by resignations have been filled at salaries not to exceed tne salaries already voted for tnese positions, and, in a number of cases, the salary paid to the new employee is less. Report 6f appoint-maitsl instructor FredericK A. Gaylord, of the forestry department, severed his connections witn tne college at the end of the fall term. Mr. Irving silson, a graduate of tnis college, who, after graduation, tooK woric in the Yale Forestry School, was employed for the remainder of tnis year at a salary of #1400.00 .which is % 100 less, than tne salary paid to Mr. Gay lord. Irving Gil- son, ins t. Forestry. I - I Miss Florence Reeves, who was acting as stenograpner and clerK to Dean Shaw, resigned Before the holidays. Miss Kittle McDonald was employed as stenog- rapher to Dean Shaw and one or two of the other agricultural departments at a salary of $45 per month and Mr. Robert Baldwin, wno acted as instructor in the zoological department during the fall term, was selected QY Dean Shaw as nis clerK, a position which was provided for at a salary of $1200.00 wnen Prof. Shaw was made Dean. However, the salary paid J£r. Baldwin for the present is #1000.00. Tne place made vacant in tne zoological department by tne resignation of Mr. Baldwin was filled by the selection of Mr. Oscar B. ParK at a salary of #60.00 per month for the remainder of the school ye~ar. Kittie Mc- Donald, sten-| og.&Robert Baldwin CierK to Dean Snaw. OcB.Parx Inst.&ooi. Mr. G-. H. Coons was appointed to the position of researcn assistant in plant pathology at $1200 per year, $900 to be paid from the Experiment Station funds and %30Q from tne college funas. Tnis position was provided for sometime ago by Board action. At tne close of last year, Mr. Leffler, an instructor in the depart- ment of history and economics, resigned. We were able to get along during the fall term..witnout filling tnis position, but during the winter term we found it necessary to secure someone to taKe his place. Mr. James JI;. G-illespie, a grad- uate of the Cornell university, was employed as instructor in nistory at a sal- ary of #700 per annum. Res,Asst.in I Plant Path.

I informed the Board that Mr. Cnamberlain and Dean Lyman would be able to handle all the worx of tne veterinary department for tne present. We found, however, that witn the short course men and tne new class tx veterinary science these two men could not do all tne woric. It became necessary to place one class in veterinary science under the care of Dr. G-iltner, of the bacteriological department, and pay one-half his' salary from tne college funds. To fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Chester L. Brewer, professor of physical culture and director of atnletics, we employed Mr. John F. MacKlin, of Pawling, H.Y, His salary is to be at the annual rate of $2000. His employment, however, is for six months only at tne rate of $200 per month. It was tnougnt advisable to maKe no fixed engagement until it was seen how he succeeded during the remainder of tne year, and by employing nim for six months at the rate of $200 per montn ratner than for the year at the rate of $2000, tne College will be more tnan $100 anead, snould he leave at tne end of the year. Tne understanding is that if everything is satisfactory at tne end of the year, ne will be employed next year and tnereafter at tne rate of $2000 per annum beginning next September. R.L.Hye, Inst.in Math. V Prof. BabcocK has not been in gboa healtn for some time. He was quite miserable during the fall term and it was witn great effort tnat he met nis classes. He underwent a thorougn examination at Ann Arbor during tne noliday vacation and it became quite apparent tnat ne could not, witnout taxing great risKs, stand upon nis feet or handle classes during tnis term. I tooK it upon myself to employ Mr. H. L. Nye for three months at tne rate of $800 per annum to meet nis classes during this term. Mr. BabcocK IOOKS after all the adminis- trative affairs of his department. He is in nis office every day and is improving. Mr. BabcocK nas taugnt continuously for sometning liKe twenty years without missing any time usually carrying a very heavy scnedule.. it was felt that we could well afford to relieve him of a part of nis worK during this winter with the nope that he would again be ready for duty at "the end of tnis term.
