Mr. W. B. Barney, Superintendent of the Dairy Department, appeared 

 before the board with preliminary plans for a new dairy building for the 

 Iowa State Fair grounds. Mr. Barney stated that the dairy industry w^as 

 the second largest industry in the state and that several interests were 

 demanding an adequate building for displaying dairy products, and space 

 for exhibiting dairy equipment. He further stated that the plan called 

 for several new features which would bring in considerable revenue and 

 would be interesting features for a building of this kind. These features 

 would include a model creamery fully equipped and in operation during 

 the fair. Also a model ice cream factory which would be operated dur- 

 ing the fair and would provide ice cream for the ice cream stand operated 

 by the dairy department and also for the grandstand concession. The 

 matter was further discussed by the board and it was the concensus of 

 opinion that the board should co-operate with the dairy interests of the 

 state in securing an appropriation for the construction of this building.

 and Professor Bender of the Educational Board, appeared before the 

 board and presented a request from the educational interests in the

 tion, the exhibit of the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic 

 Arts, the exhibit of the State University of Iowa, the exhibit from the 

 State Teachers College at Cedar Falls, the exhibit of the boys' and girls' 

 club work department and the exhibit from the sixteen institutions under
