Compiler's notes. — The specific appropriations in this section may be affected by Laws 1917, ch. 109, § 4, which provided: "The appropriations herein made or heretofore made by any legislature of this state, except as to unexpended portions carried forward, shall cease and determine on and after December 1, 1919." Appropriations were made each year for the purpose of the work required by this section, until the year 1937, when the designation in the appropriation act was changed to refer to § 130-1010, C.S. 1929. This practice was discontinued in 1949. Subsequent appropriation acts appropriated a lump sum for extension work and research activities.
