 of the buildings on the State Fair Grounds, and other matters embodied 

 in the address, and we fully concur in all its recommendations.

The following report of the Committee on Resolutions on the 

 Louisiana Purchase Exposition was read, and upon motion of Mr. 

 Robert Mitchell, was concurred in by the Board : 



Mr. President and Members of the State and Delegate Board of Agri- 

 culture: 



We, your committee appointed to formulate a resolution expressive 

 of the wish of the delegate members of the Board from the different 

 districts of the State now in session, submit the following resolution: 



Resolved, That we ask the Legislature now in session to appropriate 

 an amount of money sufficient to make a gi-and display of the agricul- 

 tural and mineral resources of the State at the great St. Louis World's 

 Fair and Exposition to be held there during the summer of 1904; and 

 be it further 



Resolved, That instead of a State building, such as was erected by 

 Indiana at the Columbian Exposition, that a building be erected on a 

 site selected by a committee appointed by the Governor, to visit the 

 exposition grounds at St. Louis, said building to be for the express pur- 

 pose of showing the agricultural, mining and such other exhibits from 

 Indiana, not provided for by the exposition company at St. Louis. The 

 live stock interests will be provided for by the company with suitable 

 buildings. 



Respectfully submitted by the committee, 



ROBERT MITCHELL, 

 SID CONGER, 

 DAVID WALLACE. 



Committee.
