MAINE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
The Closing day Of the Annual Session.

Ahe oodru met Al AZ O'CLOCK A. NJ, IN the
agricultural room at the State House, Presi-
dent Ham in the chair.
Mr.. Barnes called up hi. resolve tabled
Wednesday requiring the expenditure
during the current year of not less than
one-half the sum appropriated for the support
OF the Institutes, IN the pawn, nj of lecturers
and essayists who are not members of the
board, and spoke in it. support. He thought

key TO the situation is that members are not
placed upon tn board because they are speci-
ally fitted TO d. its work MANY have received
their places through acciden,
We do not claim that We possess sufficient
ability TO step into the work and give 1t the
attention n c-..ary Assuming that ali Of US
are fitted for the work We cannot then cover
the ground. believe in employing all the
help necessary outside of the board for the
carrying out Of the lay The recent institute
at Auburn seem TO me to have been the very
pattern of institutes and that ineeting Was
worth half dozen others carried on in the
ordinary manner by members OF the board
In order TO free the hands of the secretary
from ANYTHING which might hamper this work
have presented this order and hop. the
members will express their minds freely
Mr.. Holbrook Of SagsilhDc Il should re
2ret very much II see such resolve pass
