in years, due to the sensational an
RuaI report of Commissioner of Agri

fnted features of the report that the
commissioner would not retract tt

The requirement of the last legisla
ture that the board provide $4,000

500, 900 for the same period last veal
to SIT 900 this six months period. Fol
the last six months the budget wa:
$4,000. 1t is expected that the i'm
pending consolidation of the eXperl
mental work of the department ant

the department, work to the colleg'
is to not a saving of S., 900 to tn
department. Furthermore the boar
dropped two assistant agromomist
and an assistant veterinarian. Thel
there is to be the turning over
all the boys corn club work OF tn
department to the college to be opel
ated along with that maintained thro'
ated along with that maintaine
through funds supplied by the Genel
al Education Board. This will rel1eV
the state board of agriculture OF pos
sib1y $4,000 expense and greatl
strengthen this work carried on b
the college.
As a sequel to the strenuous an
at times beligerent sessions OF tn
board the past few days, there was
sort of love feast with service {
an approved quality of old fashione
persimon beer, followed by cord1S
hand shakes all round.
