36 MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



State law, and 5 of these have been tried and the parties convicted ; one 

 has been lost and the remainder arc still pending in the different divisions 

 of the Kansas City Court. 



Owing- to the beneficial effect of what is known as the Grout bill, the 

 services of the Inspector at Kansas City have been dispensed with since 

 September 5th, and since that time the Inspector has been paid a fee for 

 each conviction. He has secured three convictions under this agreement. 



The St. Louis Inspector has been employed the whole year. Mr. 

 J. H. Wilkinson has served as inspector, and a larger number of cases 

 have been filed and greater number of prosecutions have been won in the 

 city of St. Louis than any year previous in the entire State. For detailed 

 information in regard to the situation in St. Louis I refer to the following 

 report by the Inspector :
