present them to the committee for consideration before making re- 

 port to the convention. As I understand it, they will probably be 

 presented to both organizations, so that they can act on them in 

 case they do not conflict. As chairman of the resolutions com- 

 mittee, we have appointed: Earl Elijah, Clarence; O. J. Kalsen, 

 Huxley; J. E. Jensen, Buffalo Center. Your resolutions may be 

 handed in to our secretary, Mr. Espe, or to any of these men, and 

 they will be acted upon. Our credentials committee will be ap- 

 pointed later. 



The President : This completes our program for the morning. 



If there is nothing further, we will stand adjourned until 1 :30.

NEW FEEDING WRINKLES 

 By C. C. Culbertson. 



Mr. President, Members of the Corn Belt Meat Producers' Association: 

 This is the second time I have been with you in the past two years, acting 

 as a substitute for Professor Evvard I am glad to be here, but am sorry 

 that I have to substitute for him. However, ill-health has kept him away 

 this time. He had expected to be with you until two weeks ago, when he 

 found he had to make another trip to Iowa City and Chicago to see his 

 doctors. I am sorry to say that there is a probability that he will have 

 to go to the southwest or west for a year for his health. 



I want to talk to you a little while today on the same subject that was 

 chosen by Professor Evvard, namely, "New Feeding Wrinkles." First, I 

 want to tell you about the work carried on at the Iowa experiment station 

 during the past two years with cattle, sheep and swine. During the past 

 two years our work with cattle has been mostly with molasses — experi- 

 menting with the different amounts of molasses for fattening beef cattle. 

 We have fed both cane and beet molasses in two different years, feeding 

 these two products in different amounts, namely, one, three and five 

 pounds, or two and full-fed per steer.
