822 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



pi'iation, altogether, to the World's Fair of |300,000. I would recom- 

 mend that the Commission take up this display at St. Lonis and ap- 

 propriate whatever amount they see fit to give. If it is not done by 

 the Commission it will not be done at all. It seems to me that out of 

 1300,000 there should be enough to make a dairy exhibit. I do not 

 know how one is going to get the individual dairymen to take hold 

 of this. 



COL. WOODWARD: I remember hearing one member of the Com- 

 mission express himself to the effect that he thought the dair^v asso- 

 ciations of the State would take up the matter in an official way. 

 He was not, however, speaking authoritatively. 



MR. NORTON: I fail to see why the Dairy Union should take up 

 this matter. We as a Dairv Union, or the Live Stock Breeders' 

 Association were unable to get any appropriation at all. I think it 

 is the place of those who got the appropriation through the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture to push it forward. They have the money. We 

 never have been able to get any appropriation. I would make that 

 as a motion. 



Seconded by Major Wells. 



The PRESIDENT: Is it the sense of the Dairy Union that an appro- 

 priation should be made by the State Commission for a representa- 

 tion of the dairy interests of Fennvsylvania at the Louisiana Pur- 

 chase Exposition? 



COL. WOODWARD: I would like to know precisely what is meant 

 by the expression '"taking up the matter and pushing it" used by Mr. 

 Norton. Mr. Susendorf said that refrig'erator spaces and cases 

 would be provided at a cost of from .f350 to |500. Suppose the Com- 

 mission would provide that, would the Dairy Union, or some other 

 union or a union of the organizations of the State undertake to see 

 to the details of the exhibit, getting the material there and putting 

 it on exhibition and displaying it. I would like to know precisely 

 what is the sense of the Dairy Union on this question. 



MR. NORTON: I would say, as one of the officers of the Dairy 

 Union, I fail to see where the money is coming from to do this work. 

 It looks to me as if the Commission would have to pay for the space 

 and also for the man to look after the details. Plentv of dairymen 

 will be glad to furnish the goods, if they are taken care of. 



The PRESIDENT: I fail to see, personally, why the dairymen of 

 the State should be on any other footing in this matter than those 

 engaged in other branches of farming. As 1 understand, the Com- 

 mission has made an appropriation for representing the general 

 agricultural interests of the State. That provides for collection of 

 exhibits, for execution of the work and puts at it? head Col. ^^'OoU-
