No. 6. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 845 



new Dairy Building at The Pennsylvania State College, and that they be 

 authorized to add to the delegation such other members of the Union as may be 

 practicable." 



Moved, seconded and carried. 



"Resolved, That the Pennsylvania Daii-y Union hereby records its commenda- 

 tion of the active and efficient administration of the dairy and pure food laws of 

 the Commonwealth by the present Dairy and Food Commissioner, Dr. B. H. 

 Warren, and pledges its support to every effort to secure the suppression of 

 fraud in the sale of these products and the impartial and thorough enforcement 

 of the' laws upon this subject." 



Moved, seconded and carried. 



DR. CONARD : Mr. Perham has asked that I receive the dues and 

 forward them to him. The Dairy Union will be at considerable ex- 

 pense, not only for the cost of the meeting, but for the publication 

 of the transactions, which I hope will be accomplished in a short 

 time. Since the statement was made yesterday of there being two 

 dollars in the treasury, I have received a letter from Mr. Perham 

 stating that he has received from our former secretary, thirty-six 

 dollars, giving us thirty-eight dollars. I hope that those who are 

 present will pay their dues promptly. 



The PRESIDENT: If the Dairy Union is to accomplish anything 

 it must have a moderate sum of monev. We cannot do this work 

 for nothing. I certainly hope that all members of the association 

 will feel that it is not a duty but a pleasure to contribute the small 

 amount of dues, a dollar a year, to the support of this organization. 



MR. JONES: Might we not add that we would like to have others 

 join the association also? 



The PRESIDENT: That should be made very emphatic. 



REV. MR. DETRICH: I would not become a member of this or- 

 ganization for fear you would make me an officer. I find, however, 

 that you have made me an officer without my becoming a member, 

 but I shall be glad to pay the dollar. 



The PRESIDENT: I do hot see how the gentleman can very well 

 help it. 



The following paper was then read: 



NOTE: The Reverend Mr. Detrich delivered this address without notes or 

 manuscript. It is a stenographic report, but we all feel that much of the 

 valuable address has been lost, as Mr. Detrich, w^hile a clear and distinct 

 speaker, has a rapid utterance and thoughts flow so readily from one sentence 

 to another that little or no time elapses between sentences, and the stenog- 

 rapher has never been found who has been capable of making a verbatim report 



of Mr. Detrich's addresses. 

 It is to be regretted, in this instance, as in many others, that such is the case.
