The discussion in regard to the price
OF fertilizers was then continued.
Mr. Bailey thought the best way to
ascertain the truth of the matter
whether the increase in price was really
justifiable not was to appoint COM
mittee to look into the question, with
power to pursue the investigation as
might to them seem proper, and report
10 the next meeting of the board.
The motion prevailed and the following
committee was named: Commissioner
Patterson, Chairman Cunningham, State
Chemist Kilgore and Col. ]. Bryan
Grimes.
The sum of $500 was appropriated to
defray the expenses of this committee in
making it's Investigations.

the loan be extended to July 1st espe
clally in view of the recent loss of the
boiler house of the institution by fire.
State Chemist Kilgore recommended
that an attempt be made to secure the
cooperation of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in the soil test work
and stated that the United States depart
ment would put two men in the field
and pay their salaries if the State board
would pay their field expenses. The board
ordered $500 to be set aside for this pur-
pose.
Major Graham asked that a committee
be appointed to consider any changes
needed in the fertilizer laws. Mr.. Bailey
moved that Messrs. Cunningham, Harris
and Graham be named committee and
the motion was adopted, with Mr.. Bailey
added.
There was some discussion as to the
employment of Messrs. Simmons, Pou &
Ward to assist Messrs Battle & Morde
cal, attorneys, for board, in the fertilizer
rate cases. Col. Cunningham, chairman of
the board, stated that he had employed
them under an order of the board that
the case be prosecuted in the courts.
