426 ANNQ'AL REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



gives us the information we needed regarding the status of this 

 State, and I move you, sir, that a vote of thanks be extended to him 

 and that the entire amount asked for be endorsed by this Board 

 of Agriculture. 



MR. BLYHOLDEE: I think we should divide up that question. 

 I don't think we can legally vote on the two things at the same 

 time. 



The CHAIRMAN: We will take a vote on the first part, to ex- 

 tend a vote of thanks to Prof. Hunt. 



Agreed to. 



MR. YOUNG: I think the easiest way to bring this information 

 before the Legislature is for Prof. Hunt to go there and deliver this 

 lecture. 



The SECRETARY: Do you make a motion that Prof. Hunt be re- 

 quested to go before the Legislature and deliver that lecture? 



MR. YOUNG: I do. 



The SECRETARY: I think the best way would be for him to go 

 before the Appropriation Committee of both the House and the 

 Senate, and then the members can come in and listen to it. I am 

 afraid he would have trouble in getting a hearing right in the House. 



MR. HALL: I don't want to take up all the time, but there is one 

 practical thing all of us can do: We can go home and see the mem- 

 bers who represent our county, and urge upon them to stand up for 

 this appropriation, and in that way we can help the thing along. 



The CHAIRMAN: That is a very good idea. 



MR. NAGINEY: I would suggest that we see our county repre- 

 sentatives before we go home. They are all here now and can 

 easily be reached. I think it will be better for us to see them before 

 the Professor delivers his lecture. 



The CHAIRMAN: And if you can't do that, you all know how 

 to write. 



On motion, duly seconded, adjourned until 1.30 P. M. 



Wednesday, January 23, 1907, 1.30 P. M. 

 The Convention opened this afternoon with Mr. Herr in the Chair. 



The CHAIRMAN: Is the Executive Committee ready to make a 

 report? 



MR. STOUT: As one of the Committee, I can make a report if 

 desired. 



The CHAIRMAN: Mr. Stout, a member of the Executive Com- 

 .mittee, will make the report.
