NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART II 119 



The President : The next office to be filled is that of director 

 from the tenth district. 



Mr. ]\Iulhn : I wish to place in nomination Mr. Sears 

 McHenry of Uenison for the office of director of the State Board 

 of Agriculture from the tenth district. Motion seconded by Mr. 

 L. R. Pike of Harrison County. There being no further nomina- 

 tions Mr. Mullen moved the rules be suspended and the secretary 

 instructed to cast the entire vote of the delegates present for Mr. 

 McHenry to succeed himself as director from the tenth district. 

 Seconded by Mr. Pike of Harrison County and unanimously 

 adopted. The secretary so cast the forty-three votes of the con- 

 vention for Mr. McHenry and the president declared Mr. Mc- 

 Henry duly elected member of the State Board of Agriculture to 

 represent the tenth district. 



The President : I believe this finishes the business meeting. 

 Are there any questions or remarks to be made? 



J. O. Lauer, Bremer County : I do not believe we have fully 

 decided some vital questions that will require legislative action 

 and which should be brought to the attention of the Thirty- 

 Eighth General Assembly this winter. I do not believe it is clear 

 in the minds of the delegates who were at the county fair man- 

 agers' meeting yesterday, or the delegates in attendance at this 

 meeting, as to just what steps are going to be taken to secure an 

 increase in state aid for the county fairs. There is also another 

 matter that w-e should consider and that is the matter of having 

 the statute providing $1,000 aid for county fairs for improvements 

 amended so that it may be paid all fairs whether they own their 

 own grounds or not. 



I think it should be clearly understood as to whether these 

 matters are to be taken up by the Legislative Committee of the 

 county fair manager's association or the Legislative Committee of 

 the State Board of Agriculture. 



J. P. Mullen, Pocahontas County : I had the pleasure of being* 

 in attendance at the county and district fair managers' meeting 

 vesterday and was very much interested in the discussion of 

 these two propositions. I do not know that I fully understand 

 just what action was taken at the meeting yesterday but I am 

 under the impression that there was a Legislative Committee 

 appointed by Mr. Stanberry to bring these matters to the atten- 

 tion of the legislature and to co-operate with the Legislative Com-
