D. B. Johnson: Ladies and Gentlemen— It is now time for us to 

 begin the proceedings of this convention. We have run a little over 

 time purposely to allow a great many of the dairymen to get up and 

 get their cows milked, they had this to do, before they came, and 

 get to the convention at the beginning. We have lost half an hour in 

 this way and we should lilie, if possible, to make this up between now 

 and 12 o'cjocli. Before proceeding any further I shall appoint a com- 

 mittee to escort our Governor to this room so that he will be here when 

 the time comes for him to deliver his address. I shall appoint Dr. 

 W. N. Wilson and H. E. Van Norman on this committee. 



Invocation by Dr. Pier.son of Indianapolis. 



President Johnson: I will ask Mr. Calvin, the Vice-President, to take 

 the chair until I have read my paper. 



Cliairman Calvin: We will now have the 



PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.

 Indiana State Dairy Association— I am glad to stand before so large a
