NOTE. (1) This paragraph, except the last proviso, has appeared in every agricultural appropriation act beginning with 1880, June 16, ch. 252 (21 Stat. L.. 294). The last proviso has appeared in every such act since 1882, May 19, ch. 171 (22 Stat. L., 90). Slight alterations have occurred from time to time. The act of 1891, March 3, ch. 544 (26 Stat.

It is questionable to what extent, if at all, its provisions can be considered permanent, or whether each is in force only in relation to the particular appropriation made by the act in which each appears. For the annual provisions see 21 Stat. L., 294, 382; 22 Stat. L., 90, 410; 23 Stat. L., 38, 355; 24 Stat. L., 102,498; 25 Stat. L., 332, 838; 26 Stat. L., 286, 1048.
