REPORT BY SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON BLANDY FARM

Mr. Kuykendall, Chairman of the Special Committee on Blandy Farm, presented on behalf of the Committee which was composed, in addition to himself, of Visitors Faulconer and Hobbs, a report on possible uses of Blandy Farm prepared by Mr. Harry M. Love of Blacksburg, Virginia, a retired member of the faculty of the Department of Agricultural Economics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The report in essence proposed the phasing out of the farming operation, with the exception of the seed corn operation, and the planting of the released acreage in trees over a four-year period. Mr. Kuykendall stated that the Committee recommended to the Board the adoption of the proposal subject to the advice of Special Counsel that the proposed forestry operation would be suitable under the donor's will.

After discussion, the proposal of the Committee was approved.
