150 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART II 



resentative of the dairy industry on our State Agricultural Board. 

 He is a man who has exhibited cattle widely at state fairs, has suc- 

 ceeded, and has absorbed from his experience valuable information 

 that would help him as a member of the Board. As I said he is a 

 farmer, I place in nomination Mr. W. J. Campbell of Jesup. 



E. T. Davis of Johnson county : I place in nomination Mr. E. M. 

 Reeves of Bremer County to succeed himself. 



W. P. Dawson of Cherokee : I have in mind a man for this place 

 who will represent not only agriculture, but the great division of 

 agriculture known as horticulture. On the list of members of this 

 Board you have almost every industry well represented either by spe- 

 cial men or by men who are generally interested in these things, and 

 we find that most of the other industries of the state are pretty well 

 developed while horticulture has been overlooked largely and has

 is a neighbor of mine, just the county below, and a man I know to be 

 entirely fitted for this position. 



President Cameron : Are there any further nominations. If not, 

 the nominations are closed. I will appoint as tellers Mr. Barber, Mr. 

 Lynn, Mr. McBeath and Mr. Bacon. The secretary wnll call the 

 roll. 



The result of the ballot was announced as follows: Reeves, 9; 

 Campbell, 26; Ferris, 75. Mr. Reeves moved that the election be 

 made unanimous. This motion was seconded and carried. Mr. 

 Cameron then declared Mr. Earl Ferris elected director from the 

 Third District. 



President Cameron : Nominations for director from the Fifth 

 District are now in order. 



Logan B. Urice of Benton county: I wish to place in nomina- 

 tion the best man in the state, from the best town in the state, in 

 the best county in the state, Mr. Cyrus A. Tow, to succeed himself. 



Mr. Simmermaker of Cedar county seconded the nomination, and 

 moved that the nominations be closed, the rules suspended and the
