No. 6. DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE. 2<;3 



its earnest siijiport to tlie Secietai'y of Agriculture aud liis a^ent 

 the Dairy and Food Commissioner in the hearty and honest enforce- 

 ment of our present pure food law. 



The motion on Mr. Maloney's resolution was seconded and car- 

 ried. 



Mr. Embree: It is very important that we stand together for sup- 

 port. For the final satisfactory issue we will probably have to wait 

 for years. It is a great deal better if possible to unite our forces 

 than to divide them. I hope all who are here will use their influ- 

 ence in support of the law. 



Professor Hamilton: I hope the Pennsylvania Dairy Union will 

 do all that is possible to support the Grout bill that is to come before 

 Congress. It will require the vote of all who are interested in the 

 making of good butter in our several States. They are powerful in- 

 fluences opposed to it, but I believe it is possible to have such a law 

 enacted. 



Mr. Thomas Sharpless: I w^ant to say that w'hile I believe our oleo- 

 margarine laws have not been enforced as well as they should have 

 been, I have no reflection to cast upon the sincerity of either the Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture or our Dairy and Food Commissioner. 



On motion, adjourned.
