Sirs:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 866, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AGRICULTURE,"

No. 866, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 866, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
