Bismarck, N. D., March 14-Prob-
ably the most important of a number
of bills passed by the recent ,legisla-
tive assembly which affect the office
Of commissioner of agriculture and
labor is House Bill 174, over which
Senator Hyland kicked up a rumpus
in the senate.
This measure removes farm insti-
tute work from the supervision of the
agricultural college and places 1t in
charge of the deputy commissioner of
agriculture and labor, who just at
this moment is Lloyd RAIDER, formerly
OF Dickinson. Deputy RAIDER has
power to name as many assistants as

such instruction as will tend to pro-
mote the best marketing conditions
and there is placed at his disposal an
appropriation of $4,000. Senator Hy-
land swatted this bill, after it had
passed the Senate, on the ground that
1t builds up much political power in
the hands Of agriculture and labor.
