INITIAL SESSION
NEW STATE BOARD
RETAIN ALL SCHOOL HEADS -
TO TAKE UP SALTWATER
QUESTION LATER.

Oklahoma City, June 6.-No offc-
ial heads were chopped off by the
new state board of agriculture at its
initial session Friday morning since
it's validity was sustained by the
supreme court. On the contrary the
board started off by re-electing ali of
the old heads of five of the district
schools of agriculture. No action,
however, was taken on the election Of
President of the Helena school of
agriculture at the morning session.
The board did not reach the cases of
DR.. J. II. Connell, president of the
A. & NJ. college and four faculty mem
bers of that school, but it is believed
that these are slated to go, in view
of the former action taken by the
board, which was checked by court
injunctiOns.
The district agricultural school
heads reelected Friday morning were
r. p. Short, president Lawton school
of agriculture; R. NJ. McCool presi
dent at Tishomingo; J. S. Malone
president of the Warner school; f. D.
Henshaw at Broken Arrow and p. s
w. Black at Goodwell.
The board appointed a committee
to formulate plans for handling the
quarantine work for the coming sea
son. After July the board will put
on quite number of cattle inspectors
in tick eradication work.
