STATE FLORISTS SOCIETY. 187 



Farmers' Institutes in each state and territory. While I have 

 not examined this bill, still I am in favor of liberal appropria- 

 tions for agricultural education purposes. I believe that no 

 work is doing more for the farmer of Nebraska than the 

 Farmers' Institute. This is evidenced by the numerous re- 

 quests from every part of the state for these institutes and the 

 inability of those in charge because of insuflicient funds, to 

 comply with these requests. 



I am referring your resolution to the proper committee. 



Very truly yours, 



John A. Maguire.

 Mr. C. G. Marshall, Secretary, 

 Nebraska State Horticultural Society, 

 Lincoln, Nebraska. 

 My Dear Sir: 



I am in receipt of your letter of January 22 enclosing copy 

 of resolution passed by your Society. I am in hearty accord 

 with the same and have today written the Secretary of the 

 State Board of Agriculture that I would be glad to do any- 

 thing that is in my power to secure the passage of the bill 

 referred to. 



Yours very truly, 



G. W. NORBIS.
