No. 6. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 'Hi 



division of iutorest by liaviug- the sessions and tlie exliibit iu dillereut 

 buildings. As one interested in tlie lixture department, I would lik» 

 to see a better aiTangemeut. 



Mr. John I. Carter: I tbink Harrisburg would be a suitable meet- 

 ing place, and it it is in order, 1 move that we meet at ilarrisburg. 

 If it is not in order, I move that the place of meeting be left to the 

 Executive Committee. 



The President: At the last meeting there was some trouble en- 

 countered by the people conung to the exhibit by disturbing the meet- 

 ing, and I think the idea of our Secretary was to prevent such a recur- 

 rence by having the exhibit in a separate building. It was thought 

 better to have the scores read and the exhibit not made public. 



Mr. Maloney: It seems to me that part of the function of an affair 

 of this kind is to educate creamery men along the points on which 

 butter is scored. For that reason I think the butter should be put 

 in a place easily acc(^=is^bl(^ nnd the points on which the butter is 

 scored made public. 



Mr. McSparran: I move that we receive with our endorsement this 

 part of the report of that committee. 



Mr. H. W. Comfort: In regard to the communication addressed to 

 the Association by Dr. Armsby, suggesting that the Pennsylvania 

 Dairy Union join with the College in granting diplomas to the gradu- 

 ates of the dairy school, or in some such way endorse those gradu- 

 ates, I would say that the managers approve of the plan very heartily, 

 and I would suggest that the matter be left with the new board to 

 carry out as to detail. If you wish, however, to leave the matter 

 for further consideration, when the letter can be re-read so that all 

 the members can know the full purport of it, I have no objection. 



President Sharpless: I think all know the purport of this letter 

 and it has been suggested by one of the executive committee that it 

 be left in the hands of the new board. 



Motion to leave the matter with the new board was carried. 



Mr. John I. Garter as a member of the Auditing Committee re- 

 ported a balance of |40.71 in the treasury. The report was accepted. 



President Sharpless : At our meeting a year ago Professor Hamil- 

 ton, Secretary of Agriculture, was with us, and explained some things 

 about the ''oleo" law. He promised that if there was an amendment 

 to the law he could exterminate oleo in a short space of time in 

 Pennsylvania. He is here to-day to explain how that is done.
