Annual Meeting 1065 



SECOND SESSION 



Wednesday Afternoon, January 22 

 Meeting called to order at 2 p. ivr, 



Mr. Huson : Before taking up the program this afternoon, I 

 desire to announce the following committees, which are provided 

 for by the constitution : 



Auditing committee : C. C. Gould, G. E. Peer and C. C. Taylor. 



Committee on resolutions: E. W. Mosher, G. A. Smith and 

 W. P. Schenck. 



We have a program this afternoon that will occupy the entire 

 afternoon, and it is necessary we should take it up with some

 to you, represent perhaps as widely divergent views on this sub- 

 ject as can be selected.

 not only on his farm but for which he can ifind a ready market, 

 it is Mr. Henry of Minnesota. The conditions in Minnesota are 

 not verv different from the conditions in the State of New York, 

 so far as raising horses is concerned. Mr. Henry, as you are 

 aware, has had a vast amount of experience on the subject, and 

 will speak authoritatively, and it is with great pleasure I nov/ 

 present to you Mr. Forest Henry, of Dover, Minnesota. 



THE TYPE OF HORSE NEW YORK STATE FARMERS SHOULD RAISi: 

 Forest Henry, Dover, Minn. 



I can assure you that it gives me a great deal of pleasure to 

 meet with you this afternoon and discuss this subject. 



I believe there was a time when New York State farmers could, 

 perhaps, profitably buy their horses in the West, get their dairy 

 oows from the West, and very many of the feeds that they would
