A meeting OF the Senate committee
on agriculture was held after adjourn
ment Friday to consider s. b. Nos. 219
and 22O. by Senator Drake. These
bills provide that the land originally
donated to the state by the federal
government. known as state lands"
be taken out of the entire jurisdiction
of the State Land Board and placed in
the Joint control of that board and
that of the State Agricultural College
at Fort Collins. Originally these lands
were given to the state by the gov
ernment for the support of the Agri-
cultural college. but out of the original
10000 acres only 10000 remain. Other
states, as was explained by Eugene
Grubb of the Agricultural college
board, have parted with all the lands
given them by the government at low
prices. Mr.. Grubb urged that the state
should retain the balance of its lands
for the reason that II It does so the
lands will entirely support the State
Agricultural College and make further
appropriations by the state unneces-
sary. He said that the state of Iowa
had sold its lands at low figure,
which are now worth in the neighbor-
hood of $10,O00.O00. Attorney Frank
c. Goudy addressed the committee on
the legal phases of the bill, and num-

matter. State Engineer Jaycox was
