Commissioner of Agriculture 427 



conclusion 



The year lias been a profitable one and gives confidence that the 

 work is worth while. Close cooperation by the staff, not only in 

 school affairs, but in economy of administration, has made the 

 work pleasant. I wish to express at this time my appreciation 

 of the work of the faculty and to the members of the Board of 

 Trustees for their moral and material support. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Frank G. Helyar, 



' Director. 



Financial Report 



The year has been a financial success when compared with pre- 

 vious years and when it is remembered that the Legislature of 

 1914 cut down the maintenance appropriation over twenty-five per 

 cent. Because of this cut it was necessary to reapportion the 

 maintenance fund. The reapportioned funds are shown with the 

 expenditures in the following table:
