in paying premiums and that only. When we established experiment 

 stations last winter I consulted a lawyer and he said we could not use 

 the money except for premiums. 



Bessey — Then we wish to have a bill amending the present law so 

 we can use this money as we please. 



President — Our present law is defective. As it now is ? each bill is 

 for two years only and each legislature has to pass a bill for the next 

 two years. Five thousand dollars is little enough and we can get it 

 if we can make up our minds. 



Youngers — Would it do any good if we could get a bill passed so 

 we can use the $2,000 as we please? I think we could do much good 

 with that amount if we did not have to pay it all out in premiums.
