the premium list published at once. Motion seconded by Mr. Weaver 

 and carried. 



The Secretary called the board's attention to the recommendations of 

 the Code Commission affecting the laws governing the Department of 

 Agriculture. Mr. McHenry moved that the executive committee and Mr. 

 Weaver be selected as the legislative committee and that all matters 

 pertaining to the revision of the law governing the department, and ap- 

 propriations asked for by the State Board of Agriculture, be taken care of 

 by this committee. Motion seconded by Dean Curtiss and carried. 



The matter of appropriations to be asked of the next General Assembly 

 was discussed by the board. While no action was taken regarding these 

 matters, it was the sense of the board that the Thirty-ninth General As- 

 sembly should be asked to reimburse the board in the sum of $55,000, 

 which amount was paid out of the fair funds for the completion of the 

 new cattle barn. It was also the 3ense of the board that we should co- 

 operate with the Food and Dairy Commissioner and other dairy interests 

 in securing an appropriation sufficient to build a suitable dairy building 

 on the State Fair grounds. 



President Cameron called upon the members of the board for any sug- 

 gestions and also recommendations for their respective departments. 

 Mr. Weaver, Superintendent of the Agriculture Department, stated that 

 there was a committee composed of county agents selected during the 

 fair for the purpose of making recommendations for changes in the class 

 for county exhibits. Mr. Weaver presented the following report of thi? 

 committee:
