The arrival of the President of the Board, Governor Stone, was 

 then announced, and he was escorted to the chair. After a short 

 address, in which he called attention to the high character of the 

 agricultural people of the State and their influential position in 

 its government, he took up the oleomargarine question, as well as 

 that of food in general, and expressed his desire to co-operate in 

 the enforcement of all pure food laws. He recommended the passage 

 of the Grout bill before Congress, and ended by stating that we 

 are more concerned in the purit3' of the things we eat than in any 

 other article of our commerce. The Governor then excused him- 

 stlf from further attendance upon the meetings of the Board, be- 

 cause of the many duties that required his attention just now in 

 his office, the Legislature being in session, and many important 

 measures being on hand requiring careful consideration.
