No. 6. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 863 



MAJOR WELLS: Tho j,a'oat (limonll.v lun-c i:^ lack of iiitcvost 

 among the dairymon of the Stalo. ^Vo ou,i?lit to correct that apathy. 

 There can be no better inA-estment for a dairyman than to be ])resent 

 at the presentation of the able artick^s to which we have listened 

 to-day. 



The PRESIDENT: It has been moved and seconded that this sub- 

 ject be referred for consideration to the Execntive Committee. 

 Carried. 



]\iR. JONES: I would move that if in the opinion of the Presi- 

 dent and Secretary it Avovild seem better to change the date of the an- 

 nual meeting, that they be authorized to make that change. 



The PRESIDENT: Is it not understood that the Executive Com- 

 mittee fixes the date of meeting? 



MR. JONES: As I understand it we are living under the old Con- 

 stitution, which I think fixes the time of the meeting. 



MR. NORTON: Our Constitution calls for a meeting the same 

 week as the State Grange. Last year a motion was made that the 

 time and place of meeting be left with the Board of Directors and 

 the Secretary and President. I would make a motion that the time 

 be left with the President and Secretary and Executive Committee. 



MR. C. P. FAUCETT: Yesterday there w^as something said of 

 a regular time and place for the annual meeting and then of having 

 other meetings at local points. I think we could not have the 

 annual meeting at a better time than this. While willing to abide 

 by the decision of the committee I would dislike to see the time 

 changed. Early in December is a time suitable to almost every one. 

 The committee might decide upon the time of the local meetings; 

 but I hope they will see their way clear not to change the time of the 

 annual meeting. 



The motion to refer the time of the next annual meeting to the 

 Executive Committee was carried. 



Adjourned to 1..30 P. M. 



No afternoon session held. 



M. E. CONARD, 

 Secretary.
