Undoubtedly some of the resolutions committee were here last 

 niffht and heard the statement of Commissioner Huson that he 

 wished something would be done by this association along the 

 line of sanctioning or rebuking the efforts being made about the 

 change of the law in regard to bovine tuberculosis. I thiidv the 

 committee should bring in some resolutions for consideration by 

 this convention. 



With the permission of the audience, I will turn the meeting 

 oyer to Prof. Fisk, of C^ornell University. 



Prof. Fisk : It was only a few moments ago that I knew I 

 was going to be honored with this position, but I am glad to 

 assume it. I want to see this meeting go on, and I want to see it 

 one of the most successful and instructive cheese meetings that we 

 have ever had. We have a man with us who is going to speak 

 on the cheese industry and after that the meeting will be open for 

 discussion ; and the success of this meeting, I believe, will depend 

 upon the enthusiasm that you put into this discussion. 1 know 

 that all of you who are familiar with the cheese work and are right 

 up against it in the factories, and others going around giving in- 

 struction, have questions to ask, things that we do not know how 

 to solve, and would like to know how other people have worked 

 out these same questions. This is your opportunity to find out 

 how to get at these difficult propositions. It gives me a great deal 

 of pleasure to have a man witli us to speak to-day who has the 

 largest cheese cold storage in the United States and who is very 

 familiar with the ('(immerciai side of the cheese industry, as he 

 is one of the largest cheese buyers, j\lr. S. B. Kichardsou, of 

 Lowville.
