Program For the Annual Meeting Of
the Agricultural society The
secretaryship


with serious question whether there
rs any provision to pay for the printing
of the Iowa Year Book OF Agriculture.
There is grave doubt whether there is
any fund out of which money may be
drawn to pay for the printing Of this
book, owing to an oversight in making
an appropriation on the part Of the last
general assembly.
The Twenty eighth general assembly
enacted a law creating department.
of agriculture, and substituting the
state board Of agriculture for the State
Agricultural Society. Provision was
made, aside from appropriating money
therefor. for q year book Of agricul-
ture. This is to include the annual re-
ports of the dairy missioner, OF the
State Dairy Association, Of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment Association,
the annual report Of the state veteri-
MARIAN, the Iowa weather and crop
service and the Iowa Improved Stock
breedrs' Association. 1t was provided
this should be printed and bound in
cloth in such numbers as the execu-
tive council might direct and by COM
petitive bids The insertion of the pro-
vision for printing and binding by
competitive bids was the cause of a
bitter fight in the legislature. in which
the old state printer and binder con-
test was repeated.
It is the intent OF the department OF
agriculture to make the Iowa Year
Book a comprehensive and valuable
publication. But the question Of order
/ ing it printed has been brought up be-
fore the executive council and that
body does not consider it has any ap-
preparation made for the purpose Sec
rotary Van Houten said yesterday he
was not alarmed. and felt sure the
council in the absence of an appropria-
ton could order the work done and
|paid for out of the emergency fund at
hts disposal. This fund amounts to 3d.
600.
Some of the members of the council
| say this sum must be used for meeting
l the cost OF the examination of the diff
ferent state offices and that5it is not
available for printing the year book.
Under the law requiring that no unap-
lpropriated money can be expended,
they are convinced the book can not be
tprinted this year, nor can 1t until there
lis an appropriation.
A The executive council is looking into
the question and it may be disposed Of
1 when that body meets today. In ca &c
i the book can not be printed, the print
ling Of several reports that We're to be
a part of the year book vii be cut OF.
There will then be no provision for
printing the proceedings OF the Im-
proved Stock Breeders Association
land none for the report of the State
Dairy Association.
