See. 1(575. Farmers' institutes — state aid — appropriation — failui-e 

 to i-epitrt. That the law as it appears in section sixteen hundred 

 seventy-five of the supplement to the code, 1907, be and the same is 

 hereby repealed and the following enacted in lieu thereof: 



"When forty or more farmers of a county organize a farmers' in- 

 stitute, with a president, secretary, treasurer, and an executive com- 

 mittee of not less than three outside of such officers and hold an in- 

 stitute, remaining in session not less than two days in each year, 

 which institute may be adjourned from time to time and from place 

 to place in said county, the secretary of the state board of agriculture, 

 upon the filing with him a report of such institute and an itemized 

 statement under oath showing that the* same has been organized and 

 held and for what purposes the money expended has been used, shall 

 certify the same to the auditor of state, which state auditor shall re- 

 mit to the county treasurer of such county his warrant for the amount 

 so expended not to exceed seventy-five dollars and there is hereby ap- 

 propriated out of the moneys in the state treasury not otherwise appro- 

 priated, a sum not to exceed seventy-five dollars annually for such 

 institute work in each county. No officer of any such farmers' in- 

 stitute shall receive directly or indirectly any compensation from said 

 fund for said services as such officer. The report provided for in this 

 section shall be filed with the secretary of the state board of agricul- 

 ture on or before the first day of June of each year. When any in- 

 stitute fails to report on or before the first day of June, that institute 

 shall not receive state aid for that year." [33 G. A., ch. 110, § 1; 33 

 G. A., ch. 109, §§ 1, 2.] [29 G. A., ch. 69, § 1; 24 G. A., ch. 58, § 1.] 



[See sec. lG61-al, especially the first clause thereof; also sec. 1661-a2, the 

 same being sees. 1 and 2 of ch. 109, 33 G. A. It may have been intended 

 that both of the sections named should be added to sec. 1675 as well as to 

 sec. 1661-a, but as the intent is not clear it has been thought advisable to 

 place the sections as tliey appear above. Attention is called to the fact that 

 ch. 110, 33 G. A. was approved April 1, 1909, and ch. 109, 33 G. A., was ap- 

 proved April 5, 1909. — Editor.] 



Sec. 1676'. Appropriation. The money appropriated and paid into 

 the county treasury shall be designated as a farmers' institute fund, 

 and no warrant shall be drawn thereon, except by an order signed by 

 a majority of the members of the executive committee. In case two 

 or more organizations shall claim recognition as farmers' institutes in 

 any county, a bill shall be audited by the board of supervisors, who 

 shall divide said state fund as nearly as possible equitably, but in no 

 case shall more than three institutes be held in one year in any county 

 under the provisions of this chapter. [Same, § 2.] 



Sec. 1677. Weather and crop service. There is established, under 

 the supervision of the board of directors of the state agricultural
