Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eighth Annual Iowa Year Book of Agriculture: Issued by the Iowa Department of Agriculture, 1907 If the work of the Department is to be carried on in a manner to be of the greatest benefit to the State, it will be necessary for future General Assemblies to. Enact legislation giving to the State Board of Agriculture additional. Authority and support fund. Today the great agricultural State of Iowa provides only the meager sum of twenty-four hundred dollars annually for the support of the De partment of Agriculture. This, with possibly a few exceptions, is the smallest fund expended annually for the support of an agri cultural department by any state in the Union. This support fund should be increased to not less than five thousand dollars annually. With even this small increase the department could broaden its scope to a great extent by gathering statistical information, which is impossible under present conditions. Authority should be granted the Department to issue bulletins at such times as may deemed necessary by the State Board, possibly limiting the publications to one each quarter. As it is now the only medium the Department has for placing valuable papers, statistics, etc., before the public is through the annual Iowa Year Book of Agriculture. The size of thispublication necessitates the omission of many matters of interest to the general public. To better illustrate this, would say that a bulletin should be published at the close of the institute year con taining a financial report, statistics as to attendance, papers and addresses of each institute held for the preceding year. As it is now, only a short synopsis of this work can be included in the annual Year Book. A special bulletin on the swine industry could be is sued immediately following the meeting of the Iowa Swine Breed ers' Association, which would also include the proceedings of their meeting. Another bulletin on dairying could follow the yearly meeting of the Iowa State Dairy Association. Still another bulletin should be issued containing information and a list, by counties, of all stallions for which a State certificate has been issued. Such a bulletin placed in the hands of each owner of a pure bred stallion would be of great assistance in enforcing the provisions of the stallion law.
