FOURTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART I 5 



by the appointment of Mr. Summers to the concessions and privi- 

 lege department. 



The committee was informed that the bond of Secretary Corey 

 for $10,000.00 signed by the American Surety Company was on 

 file with the Secretary of State. 



Contract for printing 15,000 copies of the premium list for 1913 

 was let to the Purcell Printing Company at $5.25 per page, the 

 paper to be of a whiter quality and similar to that used in the 

 bulletins issued by the Iowa State College of Agriculture. 



The communication from the Chicago Live Stock World rela- 

 tive to an appropriation by the department of $150.00 for three 

 classes of under six months breeding pigs in the Poland China fu- 

 turity was called to the attention of the committee. Secretary 

 Corey was instructed to take the matter up with the superintend- 

 ent of the swine department and get his opinion of the matter. 

 The committee was of the opinion that the department should not 

 further obligate itself on account of these Poland China futurities 

 as the department is already pledged for $125.00 for the yearling 

 classes at the 1913 show. 



The communication from J. R, Pfander, secretary of the Na- 

 tional Duroc Jersey Association, relative to classes and appropria- 

 tion for barrow classes at the 1913 fair, was brought to the atten- 

 tion of the committee. The committee was of the opinion that it 

 would not be advisable to add these classes and the secretary was 

 requested to ask the National Duroc Jei^sey Association to offer 

 their special money appropriated for these classes in classes that 

 would conform to the regular Iowa classification in accordance with 

 Rule 21, page 29, of the 1912 premium list. 



The committee considered a proposition presented by Mr. 

 "Welcher of the Dynn Welcher Construction Company of Port- 

 land, Oregon, to construct a roller coaster upon the fair grounds. 

 Mr. Welcher left his written proposition with the committee for 

 further consideration.
