266 MISSOURI AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



STATEMENT. 



In compliance with a custom of the Board of Agriculture, we take 

 pleasure in publishing in the following pages a condensed report of the 

 Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the State Dairy Association. This was 

 the most important meeting, in many respects, in the history of the As- 

 sociation. A very large attendance was on hand at every session from 

 the first until the ver}'- last and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. This 

 augurs well for the development of the dairy business in Missouri.

 and the discussions which are of the most practical benefit, we beg 

 to mention herewith the names of the diflferent persons who took
