M'KELvIE MEETS
With FARMERS
ORGANIZATIONS
Discuss Proposed Legislation;
Question of Through Roads
Across State Meets
Opposition.
From a Staff Correspondent

Nllolh Dtdil Correspondents
Lincoln, Dec. 3l.-(Special.) y
Representatives or organized agri-
culture to the number of about 100
gathered in the Offices of Governor
elect S. r. McKelvie today and dis
cussed legislation necessary to the
best needs of the state from an ag-
ricultural standpoint. The morn
ing session was executive and con-
sisted chiefly in the governor out
lining his policy regarding legisla-
ton and the consolidation of depart
cents.
In the afternoon the meeting was
public and general discussion was
had on subjects under the morning
program. The proposition of the re-
organization of the state board of
agriculture caused the most inter
est, at least on the part Of members
OF the board who were present
Speaker Jackson, who is member
Of the state board. asked the gov
ernor if he thought that he could
fix up anything better than the sys-
tenn the board had had for 50 years
past.
Governor Replies.
The governor replied by saying
that when he was back home the
nice little school house where he
had attended school, and which had
been adequate to meet all demands
at that time, had now given place
10 a modern building, He disliked
to see the old landmark 60, but i'm
proved conditions demanded i'm
proved methods and he thought this
would apply to the present board
of agriculture. His plan would not
abolish the board, nor take from it
any of the functions as far as rum
ming the state fair and other fairs
were concerned. The only change
that would take place would be to
take from it the agricultural activi-
ties connected with the gathering of
statistics and the like.
Good Roads Question.
State Engineer George Johnson
then discussed the matter of good
roads, and this met with some op-
position, the main contention being
that the farmers did not like to see
the roads built unless they took
care of the traffic from the towns to
the farms and back. They did not
want to see a system of through
roads which only looked after the
tourist proposition. Mr.. Johnson
said that it was the intention to
make special effort to cover the
matter of heavy transportation from
the farms to the towns,
Morning Session.
At the forenoon session. Mr.. McKelvie
discussed the tentative agricultural pro-
gram which he expects to recommend to
the legislature in his message
The first part of this dealt with the
civil administrative code and one depart
ment under this code will be devoted ex-
rusively to agriculture and kindred sub
iects. This department will have super
vision of the duties that heretofore have
come under the administration of the
Food, Drug and Dairy commission, the
State Board Of Agriculture Except the
state fair and other agricultural EXPOSE
tions). the Livestock Sanitary board, the
Stallion Registration board. the COnserva-
ton commission and at least one new
section will be devoted to farm markets
