194 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



The approval of mortgages and sale of land seems to your 

 committee to be too readily granted. They believe it was 

 the purpose of the law, in requiring such approval, that the 

 Board of Agriculture should interpose delay, in case action is 

 taken by a society, without full consideration, or against the 

 wishes of a considerable minority, or in case of sale of large 

 property. We believe it to be the duty of the Board to make 

 sure that it is the purpose of the society to use the proceeds 

 of such sale in the interests of agriculture. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. A. KILBOURN.
