Des Moines, Iowa, December 11, 1907. 

 To His Excellency, Hon. Albert B. Cummins, Governor: 



In compliance with the instructions of the executive council we, as 

 a committee, duly appointed to examine the books of the Department of 

 Agriculture, for the year 1907, as provided by Section 1657-Q, supplement 

 to the Code of 1897, beg leave to report that we have examined the ac- 

 counts of the sources from which money received came into its treasury, 

 and the vouchers and warrants of its expenditures, a detailed account of 

 same being attached and made a part of this report. Your committee 

 find that no warrants have been drawn except on duly authenticated 

 vouchers, which are on file, duly numbered with warrant number. We 

 also commend the secretary of this department for the efficiency of the 

 system of bookkeeping in vogue in his office, and the accuracy of his 

 accounts with the treasurer of said department.
