The meeting was called to order in Room 12, State House, January 

 4, 1905, by tbe Vice-President, D. F. Maish, of Frankfort, Indiana, and 

 after requesting tbe members of tbe association to stand and join in 

 repeating the Lord's Prayer, he made the following remarks: 



Gentlemen of tbe Indiana Corn Growers' Association — I "feel that it 

 would be ungrateful in me if I did not say something of the work done 

 by your late lamented President, and I feel that the beginning of this 

 meeting is the time to say what I wish before proceeding with the 

 program. 



I knew Mr. McMahan to be a man full of life and energy, and it 

 seems but yesterday that he was enjoying the pleasures of living. It 

 is hard for us to realize that he has passed away, as his death was so 

 sudden and unexpected to all who knew him. 



Some of you know that a like sorrow came to me on tbe 7th of Sep- 

 tember, when our home circle was broken by the death of a child eleven 

 years old, and you will perhaps realize with what sad feelings I have 

 come to this meeting. My heartfelt sympathy is extended to Mrs. Mc- 

 Mahan. 



The Indiana Corn Growers not only lose a great and efficient worker, 

 but the State of Indiana loses an honorable citizen as well. 



The committee met November 17 and arranged the following program 

 for this meeting:
