The Chairman: Gentlemen, you have heard the treasurer's report. Are 

 there any corrections or objections? If not, the same stands approved. By 

 the way, has it been customary to appoint an auditing committee? 



The Secretary: In the past the Auditing Committee was the Executive 

 Committee. 



The Chairman: All right. * * * It has been suggested; in the ab- 

 scence of our regular Executive Committee, that an Auditing Committee 

 be appointed. Do I hear a motion to that effect? 



F. A. Gatch (Adair) : I make the motion that the chair appoint two 

 members to take the place of President Beckner and Vice President Bar- 

 ber. 



The Chairman: Is there a second to that motion? 



L. R. Pike (Harrison): Second the motion. 



The Chairman: It has been moved and seconded that the chair ap- 

 point an Auditing -Committee. Are there any questions? If not, those in 

 favor of that motion will signify by raising the right hand. * * * 

 Opposed the same sign. * * * The motion is carried. 



I will appoint on that committee Mr. W. R. Schofield from Hardin 

 county and Mr. L. R. Pike of Harrison county. 



The report of the Credentials Committee will be held in abeyance, as 

 suggested previously. 



The next on the program is round-table talks. This is the big engl of 

 the program. I don't know whether we want to start any of this before 

 lunch, or not, as it is nearly quarter to twelve. This meeting is thrown 

 open to everybody, and we would like to hear from everybody. I think 

 it would be well to open up the discussion on some particular subject 

 and carry that subject thru to a conclusion before we start on another. 

 If we don't, we will get confused. Now, the meeting is open to you, 

 gentlemen. 



W. R. Schofield (Hardin): I would like to hear a matter discussed by 

 the members, as to whether we could take up with the State Board of 

 Agriculture and have it put thru the legislature, in order to receive state 

 aid only by the different fair associations who are members of this associa- 

 tion and who attend this meeting. I would like to hear that discussed by 

 some of the older members at this time.
