IMPROPER SHOWS, NO STATE FUNDS
Commissioner Pearson Of Agricultural De-
partment Warns Fairs Managers.

Albany June 6-Owtng to a few complaints
which have been made TO the State Department of
Agriculture regarding the character of exhibitions
permitted on some county fair grounds in viola
ton of the law, Commissioner r A. Pearson is
having sent to all fair managers extract of
the law which says that state funds shall be
withheld from any fair If improper exhibitions or
gambling devices knowingly permitted Com
missioner Pearson says in statement given out
this subject:
In the past prescribed exhibitions gambling
devices have had place on fair grounds. but the
officers did not. officially, know of them and
hence, technically the state funds could not be
withheld. There is now being prepared in the
Department of Agriculture a blank form which
NAV be used when any fair is in progress for
the purpose Of serving notice on the officers that
any particular immoral show exhibition,
sny particular gambling device wheel Of for
feature is not discontinued. the officers will be
unable to claim that they did not know of its
Or essence and. this being the case the state aid
may be withheld
In this statement the Commissioner calls attsn-
ton 10 the fact that the law relating TO the dis
tribution of state money to agricultural fairs has
be.n amended in regard defining the for
which funds may be devoted. The old law de-
clsred that It for improving the breed OF
cattle sheep and horses" while the amended law
saws that II shall be for the promotion of agri-
cultural and domestic arts. for the promotion OF
education along agricultural lines and for the
promotion of the improvement Of the breed of
cattle sheep. horses and other domestic animals"
