forcemeat could not have gone on. The expense of this department 

 in enforcing this law has been greater than ever before as there are 

 three men working in the field whereas there had only been two up 

 until January 1, 1928. Due to the growing demand all over the state 

 that the dog law be enforced and with the tendency of a great many 

 of the county officials to shirk the responsibility of enforcement and 

 shifting it all on the State Department this extra man had to be put to 

 work in the field. 



Owing to the above conditions and the condition of the State's 

 Dog Fund at the present time and to the importance of this law to the 

 Live Stock Industry of the state I would suggest that the Legislature 

 amend Section No. 32 of the Dog Law and provide that the Commis 

 sioner of Agriculture be given ten (10%) per cent instead of five (5%) 

 per cent for enforcement purposes. 



Below we submit the amount of the dog fund as collected and dis- 

 bursements made for the past two fiscal years:
