SEVENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK-PART IV. 141 



Whereas, The report of the committee appointed by the Board of 

 Agriculture in 1905 stiows that the mill stuffs, concentrated feeding 

 stuffs and condimental stock foods now on the markets are largely 

 adulterated and are not believed to contain either nutritive or medicinal 

 properties comensurate with their cost, 



Be It Resolved. That the State. Board of Agriculture be instructed 

 to urge legislation at the coming session of the General Assembly to 

 regulate the sale of these foods, so that the State may not be made a 

 dumping ground for adulterated, misbranded and worthless products. 



We recommend to the ensuing session of the legislature, for their 

 consideration, the passage of such laws as will authorize the Board of 

 Supervisors of any county in the State to purchase, to become the pro- 

 perty of the county, grounds and to erect suitable buildings to be used 

 for holding the annual meeting of the county agricultural fair. 



We feel grateful to the Meat Producers' Association and the Grain 

 Dealers' Association for their efforts in behalf of the people of this 

 State to push for an open market, domestic and foreign, for the farm 

 products cf Iowa. Respectfully submitted, 



C. W. Hoffman, 

 S. B. Packard, 

 E. A. Larsox,
