Your committee would recommend that the Secretary of 

 the Board be requested to ask of the State an appropriation of 

 one thousand dollars, to be expended under chapter 20, sec- 

 tion 10, of the Public Statutes, for lectures before the 

 Farmers' Institutes. 



In conclusion your committee would suggest the employ- 

 ment of home talent. The local farmers should be encour-

 be the exception rather than the rule. 



After some discussion by Messrs. Ware and Hersey the 

 report was accepted and adopted. 



The Board then adjourned.
