SUMMER MEETING AT BROOKFIELD. 



21 



COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE. 



DISCUSSION. 



Mr. Balph Smith thinks we should by all means take up this ques- 

 tion and insist on pure cider vinegar. 



Mr. C. H. Fiuk agrees to the plan, and hopes the question will be 

 pressed at the next Legislature, and a bill will be brought out which will 

 till the want known. 



Mr. Durand moves that a committee be appointed to prepare a bill 

 which shall be presented to the next winter meeting, and then acted 

 upon when a committee shall be sent to Jefferson City for the purpose. 



C. W. Murtfeldt — -Hard work to get anything through the Legisla- 

 ture. But go there in force and with the power behind you. 



Chas. Patterson — Encourage the manufacture of good cider vine- 

 gar and it will bring good prices. He gets 40 cents per gallon, and no 

 trouble to sell where it is known. 



J. B. Durand — First stop the manufacture of this spurious stuff. 



Mr. Williams — We need a general law to manufacture only pure 

 stuff, from whatever source it may come. Some cider will not make 

 even good vinegar. 



jST. F. Murray — Everything should be labeled just what it is and 

 sell on its merits. If made of acid it should be so labeled. 



Motion of Mr. Durand carried.
