speakers and lecturers. The expense

VETOED.
My approval to this bill Is withheld
by reason of the following objections:
The essential part of the bill is to
create an additional state officer to
be known as the dairy commissioner
to perform the duties now performed
by the assistant dairy and food com.
missioner in relation to the manufac-
ture and sale of dairy products and
to perform the duties now performed
by the state farmers institute board
OF directors. Under the present law
all of the duties are performed under
the direction of the Agricultural COL
lege and, in my opinion, are better
performed than could be done under
the provisions of this bill with the
limited appropriation provided there.

Governor.
