STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION. 531 



The President: I would like to suggest, or rather ask, if the Com- 

 mittee considered the advisability of mentioning the name of the intro- 

 ducer of the Oleomargarine Bill in Congress. You state the "Oleomarga- 

 rine Bill in Congress," but that is not as specific as to specify the Grout 

 Bill Qr any other bill. 



Mr. Newsom: Mr. President, that matter was brought up in the Com- 

 mittee, and the Committee decided that inasmuch as the bill had been 

 changed, its name might be changed. The thing this Association wants 

 is an oleomargarine bill that will be sufficient, whether it bears the name 

 of Mr. Grout or some one else; the thing Ave want is a bill that will be 

 sufficient If the members in Congress see fit to change the name, then we 

 still want to uphold the best bill. If we upheld the Grout Bill, and an- 

 other better one would be introduced, we do not want to be pledged to the 

 Grout Bill. 



The President: Has anybody any amendments to make to the resolu- 

 tions as offered? If there is no further discussion, I will put the motion. 



(Motion carried, and resolutions adopted.) ' 



The President: The next Committee that is to report is the Committee 

 on Nominations, and Mr, Shugart is the Chairman of that Committee.

The President: I would like to make a statement in connection with 

 this nomination of officers. For a number of years, I have had charge of 

 the instruction in dairying at Purdue University, but recognizing the fact 

 that it was a very important State industry, I used my influence to place 

 the working dairy at Purdue University in the hands of one individual; 

 and, as I had an abundance of other work, it resulted in the University 

 placing the development of the dairy work in the hands of one person, who 

 is now to give his entire time to that subject. As I superintend the work 

 of the Experiment Station, and am not officially giving instruction or 

 carrying on work in dairying, I feel that it is not the proper thing for me 

 to act in any official capacity in connection with this Association, although 

 I have a life membership, and shall always take a great interest in its
