No. 1.] REPORT OF SECRETARY. xxxi 



Extracts from Trespass Laws. 

 The distribution of printed extracts from the trespass laws 

 has been continued during the year in accordance with the law 

 relating thereto. Each post office in the State was furnished 

 with a copy on paper for posting. The demand continues about 

 as in former years. 



Seed Corn Distribution. 

 The distribution of seed corn of superior strains, recommended 

 by the secretary in his last annual report and approved by the 

 Board, was carried out as planned. Several ears were distrib- 

 uted, personally and through the mails, to over 200 applicants. 

 The effect of the work was to call attention to the necessity for 

 improvement in corn growing, but the results in corn returned, 

 reports of methods used and results obtained, and yields re- 

 ported were not favorable enough to make it seem advisable 

 to repeat the experiment. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. LEWIS ELLSWORTH, 



Secretary. 

 Jan. 9, 1912.
