DAIRY AND SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. I43 



In closing, I want to congratulate the milk producers of Maine 

 and the other New England states on what has been accom- 

 plished in the way of increasing prices and bringing about a 

 better understanding of the business — not only by the pro- 

 ducers, but by the consumers, as well. 



Respectfully submitted, 



FRANK S. ADAMS. 



Voted, that the report of the committee on milk hearing 

 before the Interstate Commerce Commission be accepted. 



Voted, to tender Mr. Adams a rising vote of thanks for his 

 work done on the milk hearing committee. 



President Tucker: I would say that, owing to the fact 

 that so many of the bills that appear in the treasurer's report 

 were contracted by the treasurer himself, he felt a little delicate 

 about bringing his report. Upon his request, an auditing com- 

 mittee, composed of Dr. Moulton and W. G. Hunton, have 

 checked over the accounts. 



The report of the auditing" committee was called for and was 

 read by the secretary, as follows : 



Augusta, Dec. 9, 1916. 



We, the undersigned, hereby certify that we have carefully 

 examined the foregoing account of F. S. Adams, Treasurer of 

 Maine Dairymen's Association, and find it correct. 



H. M. Moulton, 

 W. B. Hunton, 



A ltd i ting Committee. 



The report of the treasurer was called for. 



Mr. Adams : I could not. of course, have in this report an 

 itemized bill for all the expenses, but I have every bill on file 

 and any gentleman who so desires may go over these bills.
