regulations and higher standards of purity for dairy products. 



Seventh: We appreciate the effective work of the present 

 Dairy Commissioner, R. M. Washburn, and ask that he be re-ap- 

 pointed, and the sam^e appropriation be made by the General As- 

 sembly as before to carry on this important work. 



Eighth: We recognize the great importance of the Agricul- 

 tural College of the University to our interests and appreciate the 

 immense value of its past services. We further recognize that this 

 work must now be expended to meet the rapidly growing argicul- 

 tural and dairy interests of the State and the increasing demands 

 made upon the College, and therefore ask that the General As- 

 sembly grant the very reasonable request made by the Board of 

 Curaotrs for appropriation for the next biennial period. 



Ninth : We ask the General Assembly to pass a law enlarging 

 the scope and the power of the State Veterinary Department for 

 the purpose of the better control and stamping out tuberculosis now 

 found in some of the herds of cattle in our State. 



Tenth : For the third time we call the attention of the Board 

 of Curators, and through them, the General Assembly, to the urgent 

 need of a new dairy barn on the College ground. The present 

 structure is a disgrace to the dairy interests of the State and to the 

 dairy herd now owned by the University.
