by the extension division, and under their regulations, this
equipment may be rented to other organizations for convention
use. Any money derived from such rent shall be turned over to
the state commissioner of public institutions. Any
appropriations hereafter made to carry out the provisions and
purposes of this section shall be expended through the state
commissioner of public institutions.
The regional "4-H" camp, heretofore established at
