§ 74-504 — Annual reports; publications; cooperation with Kansas state university and experiment stations

The secretary of agriculture shall publish an annual report, embracing a general view of the condition of agriculture throughout the state, accompanied by such essays, statements, statistics, diagrams, illustrations and recommendations as may be interesting and useful. Each legislator shall receive a copy of the annual report. In addition the secretary of agriculture may gather and prepare in the form of reports, pamphlets or press notices, such other information as may be of value in promoting the agricultural industry of the state or calculated to encourage immigration. The material may be printed and bound by the state in such editions as, in the judgment of the secretary of agriculture, may be necessary, if sufficient funds are available to the secretary of agriculture for that purpose. There shall be close cooperation between the Kansas department of agriculture and Kansas state university, and the staff of Kansas state university and experiment stations, on approval of the president of Kansas state university, shall render such services as they may be called upon to render in promoting the work of the Kansas department of agriculture.
