hearing the annual report of Commie
sioner Graham, which showed re
ceipts for the year aggregating $213,

fertilizer tags; 27,198 from C. S. M.
tags, $23,722 from feed stamps, $6,198
from serarn, $12,803 from test farm
and amounts of $1,000 and leas, each
from other sources. The treasurer's
balance Is $3,700. The report carries
no statements as to the oil Inspec

reviewing work of divisions, states
that the legislature wlU probably

The commissioner estimates the
cotton crop at about the same ai the
1910 crop, and the corn crop 20 per
cent leas; wheat about the same, but
not aa good quality; oats and pota
toes fine and hay much above the
average. He says Important farm sup

The commissioner recommends the
employment of un additional veteri
