Thirty-Ninth Annual Session Board of
Agriculture Opens.


This Afternoon the thirty-ninth an
nual meeting of the Kansas state
at o'clock, roll call took place and a
short business session ensued. The
formal opening, however, will not oc-
cur until this evening. AT that time
an address of welcome will be made
by Gov. w. r. Stubs and a similar
address on the part of the city will be
given by Mayor William Green.
President Charles E. Sutton of Law
renee was called to Chicago day be-
fore yesterday, but it is thought that
to preside at the meeting this evening
in Representative hall. He is slated
to respond to the addresses of well
come. How an Animal Grows and
What Affects Its Form is the sub
ject of an address which President H.
J. Waters of the state agricultural
college will give.
1.-THE people of Topeka-ladies and
gentlemen-are invited to be present"
said Secretary F. d. Coburn this
morning. I'VE would not only like to
have them come, but would be glad
to have them participate in the meet
ings. The Kansas state board of agri-
culture is the one organization in Kan
sas in which there is no politics.
The meeting this evening will ad-
journ at 10 O'Clock and the members
of the board will take advantage of
the Commercial club smoker, where
the state fair and other topics of in
terest will be discussed
The following are the officers and
members of the state board of agricul-
ture:

The six members first named will
serve for another term, but the term
of the other members given in the
list has expired. 1t is an unwritten
law that the president shall serve two
terms, and as President Sutton has
just completed his first term it is like
ly that he will be reelected. Secre-
tary Coburn will also be reelected.
Each county agricultural society in
good standing is entitled to a repre-
sentative and alternate and there are
about fifty of these organizations in
the state. These are the men that
dominate the meeting and as they
come direct from the farms that is
the reason Secretary Coburn asserts
that politics does not enter into the
gathering. The representatives have
their travelling and hotel expenses paid
in connection with the annual meet
ing.
