IS OVER BURDENED
Agricultural Department Has Many la
- stttittioni To Provide For,
- Rauciob, March A This legislature
is taking pains to force or try to force
the agricultural department, which al
ready has many burdens to build all
sorts ,of Institutions, , for example to
build a $50,000 agricultural building at
the A. ft M. College here, and then to
pay $10,000 a year for the malntalnance
of that college.
NIt was remarked today that It wag a
wonder the legislature, which has been
considering a resolution looking to the
extension of the captlol, did not pass a
bill directing the agricultural depart
ment to pay "out of any surplus reve
nues" the expenses of erecting such ad
dition to the building. .
The agricultural department has been
maintaining 100 students at an expense
of some $2,030 and has expended as
much to pay for work done by agricul
tural students.
