that such fair or agricultural society receive said thirty per cent, with the Auditor of the 

 State of Missouri, and said Auditor shall thereupon draw his warrant upon the State Treasurer 

 for such amount. Such money shall be paid to the treasurer of the county fair or agricultural 

 society upon his receipt, countersigned by the president and secretary: Provided, that the 

 amount to be paid to any such county fair or agricultural society during any one year shall 

 not exceed the sum of three hundred ($300.00) dollars. 



Under this law, which was new and untried in Missouri, a 

 number of applications which were received were rejected on the 

 ground that they did not represent either agricultural fairs or 

 agricultural societies. A few applications were received too late. 

 Sixty-eight applications were approved by the President and 

 Secretary of the Board of Agriculture and recommended to the 

 State Auditor for payment. The sum distributed to these fairs 

 was $14,752.96. The following statement shows the fairs aided:
