64 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



I know you want to get along with the program just as fast as you 

 can because a good many would like to leave on the early trains, so I am 

 submitting this printed report for your approval and I hope you will take 

 a copy of it home with you. I thank you. 



The Chairman : The next on the program is the report of the 

 treasurer, but Mr. Corey has said the report of the treasurer is 

 inckided in the printed pamphlet so Mr. Morrow, who is present, 

 will not be called upon for a report tmless he has something to add. 



The Treasurer (Mr. W. W. Morrow) : The secretary has made 

 a detailed statement and you wall find the treasurer's report in the 

 booklet that he has had printed. 



The Chairman : I want to say further that in the report of the 

 transactions of the fair for the year, years ago we had a finance 

 committee that was appointed from this body to check up this insti- 

 tution, but now this department is checked up just the same as every 

 other department in the state house. The expert accountants of the 

 state check our department and make report to the governor of the 

 state just the same as he does for the auditor of state, the secretary 

 of state and all other state departments. Of course we can, there- 

 fore, dispense with the appointment of a finance committee.
