ON Institutions.
The state board OF control recently
completed contracts for $500. 900 insur-
ance on state institutions and build
fngs. The business Is placed directly
by the board among twenty-five or
thirty companies. A uniform rate Of ]
per Cent for three years was secured
FOR all except the state penitentiary.
The Irvine plant made this especially
hazardous, The insurance placed by
the board of control does not cover the
state university. the soldiers home and
the state agricultural school. They
preferred to place their own Insurance.
The board of control insures the
buildings under Its care for about 30
per cent of their value. The remain
Ing risk Is carried by the state. The
Iowa state board OF control insures
none OF it's buildings, believing that 1t
Ii cheaper for the state to save the
premiums and carry the risks itself
The Wisconsin institutions are heavily
insured.
Under the old system the insurance
was placed by each board. and there
was no uniformity Of rates. each get.
ting the best rate 1t could. Although
the annual saving made by,placing the
Insurance through the board of con-
troll has not been computed accurately
1t Is about $500.

The manufacture in state schools and

the inmates of state Institutions Is un-
der consideration by the state board Of
control. The board may try to grow
the tobacco at the institutions as a
demonstration that Minnesota can be

The board last week awarded con-
tracts for the supply of tobacco for the
quarter for the inmates of state insti-

smoking tobacco.
1T occurred to the board that the

BILE to the state ana give employment
to many inmates" said Judge Gould of
the board. ION investigation 1t may
appear that We can srow the weed In
Minnesota. In Wisconsin In the dis
t.ict adjacent TO Red Wing the farmers
raise tobacco In large quantities 1t
Is pronounced by tobacconists to be of
q very good flavor and 1t commands
ready sale. Now II 1t can be grown in
Wisconsin, why not In Minnesota? At
ST. Peter some time ago noticed q

dens. think the proper soil can re
found near some Of the institutions.
for there are many portions OF tho
state where the weed IL grown for
home consumption.
This Is manufactured by the state
prison at Lansing, KAN" said Judge
Gould as he picked UP plug OF to-
baoco from his desk. 1.-The Lansing
prison manufactures enough plug to-
