844 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



comiilete the structure. Tliat is intended to house all the agiieultuial 

 interests of the institution so far as they relate to instruction. It 

 was the understanding that this building- was for purposes of in- 

 struction in the varied branches of agriculture^ including forestry. 

 In view of the manifest importance of the dairy interests of the 

 State, I would like to make two suggestions: 



1. It seems to me that the Pennsylvania Dairy Union ought to 

 recognize in some formal way the action of the Legislature and of 

 the Governor in passing and approving this bill which has proved 

 for this State Dairy Building, which we believe will be the equal, if 

 not the superior of any dairy building in the country. The Legisla- 

 ture and Governor treated us very generously and we shall put our- 

 selves in a false position, if we adjourn without some expression of 

 appreciation. Possibly the Committee on Resolutions may think it 

 well to bring in a resolution bearing upon this matter. 



2. I think it would be very appropriate for the Dairj^ Union to 

 be officially represented at the dedication of this building, which 

 we expect will take place in January or February. I think some ar- 

 rangement can be made for an official delegation of the Pennsylva- 

 nia Dairy Union to be present at the dedication of this dairy build- 

 ing which we have done so much to secure. 



The Kominating Committee asked that the reading of the report 

 and election of ofticers be postponed until the close of the session.

 and ample provision should be made by the Pennsylvania Commission for a 

 full representation of the dairy interests of this Commonwealth at the Louisiana 

 Purchase Exposition, and that to this end the Commission be urged to pro- 

 vide sufficient space at the Exposition and to arrange for securing typical 

 specimens of the best dairy products of the State, and for their transportation 

 to and reception at the Exposition under such conditions as shall ensure their 

 being exhibited in prime condition." 



The resolution as read bv Mr. Norton was considered the official 

 expression of the sense of the Dairy Union upon the matter discussed 

 the day previous. 



"Resolved, That the Pennsylvania Dairy Union hereby expresses its great 

 satisfaction at the unanimous passage by the Legislature and the approval of 

 the Governor of a bill appropriating $100,000 for beginning the construction at 

 The Pennsylvania State College of an agricultural building. 



"Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Governor and to 

 the chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations." 



It was moved and seconded that the resolution be adopted. Car- 

 ried. 



"Resolved, That the executive committee be empowered and instructed to 

 officially represent the Pennsylvania Dairy Union at the dedication of the
