DAIRY^ SEED IMPROVEMENT, STOCK BREEDERS' MEETINGS. 365 



we will be leaders in this industry. Then the Addenda. I ap- 

 proach the press, and I would say to them, "Why do you put in 

 great big letters, if someone gets out here and does a sneaking 

 mean thing; you would put that away up, and everybody sees 

 it, and if somebody does something noble, you just put in a 

 notice of it." If the editors of papers would approach young 

 men and say, "Write up something, so that I can put it into 

 the paper," because few men could hear him talk; but there 

 may be others who ought to know these things, and, if it is 

 written up and put into the paper, many who are interested 

 pay see it. I know some reporters .tell the paper what the 

 patrons are doing, and they are anxious to read every part of 

 the paper. In things along that line, I think the press could 

 help the people wonderfully. I do not like to see the wrong 

 thing held iip, and the right thing given a passing notice. 



Mr. Bateman : I quite fully agree with the remarks the 

 gentleman has made. I am going to say something I have not 

 said in the press. First, the remarks of Mr. Pope will be 

 known all over the state. Second, he has said that we should 

 print all the things that have been said. Three weeks ago I 

 wrote to all the speakers of his conference. Only two of them 

 responded ; the man from Connecticut, after giving his paper, 

 asked if I wanted his paper ; I told him my paper would go to 

 press in two hours and that it would be impossible to set it uip 

 in that time. He said he did not care whether I printed it or 

 not, and I did not. It is the duty of these gentlemen who come 

 from away to send their papers in advance to the press, so that 

 we could print them. How are we going to print them when 

 it is time to go to press? You have these meetings, and talk 

 to about thirty people. We could send it out to about one 

 hundred thousand people. Your organizations are to blame 

 for this ; you should see to it that the papers have these speeches 

 in advance. Give us a fair show, and we will be glad to print 

 your matter. 



Mr. Harris : The gentleman has misunderstood me. I did 

 not intend to criticise the papers, but rather ourselves. 



Mr. Hamlin : Since I heard these speakers I feel so small 

 that I feel that I cannot say anything. I want to confine my- 

 self to the discussion that my friend put up, that of the tuber- 

 culin test and cleanliness of the milk and cream. Way back up
