clared to pe the only legal, duly
qualified and elected board of agri-
culture by the state supreme court

The attack on the csuce board,

nical errors in the submission of the
amendment reducing the size of the
board from eleven 10 five members
and its adoption by ali overwhelming
vote in the special election.
In the submission of the amend
ment by the legislature in its aodp-
ton by the people at the polls, ev-
cry statutory and constitutional re-
quirement was met, says the opin
ion, in knocking out the contentious
of the ousted board.

This decision is expected to COM
pletely clarity the muddled situa-
ticn involving three boards of agri-
culture, which had its inception in
January, 1913, when two boards went
forth from the saltwater farmers
institute, each claiming to be duly
elected and having authority to act.
While these two boards were
wrangling between themselves and
indulging in court proceedings Sen
ator Campbell Russell Of Warner
proposed a resolution in the senate
authorizing the submission of an
amendment that would reduce the
size of the board from eleven mem
bers.
The amendment was submitted at
the August election and adopted
Russell contended the adoption u
the amendment hal the effect OF
recalling the board, claiming to
have been appointed at the StillTat-
er convention, and the governor
took the same view and Immediately
appointed the fye-man board.
Amendment Opposed.
