212 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



to be held, I don't know whether it was to be at Des Moines or Wa- 

 terloo. Was any definite action taken at that time? Well, so far 

 as I am concerned, I would be glad to have these spring meetings, 

 and I would be pleased also to have it at Fort Dodge again, or at 

 any other point that you want the meeting. We had a very nice 

 spring meeting this past year and organized our circuits there, a 

 thing that has been of help to all of us. Personally, I am in favor 

 of the spring meeting. 



President-elect Scholfield : Any other member like to express 

 himself with regard to it? ]\Ir. Mullen? 



J. P. Mullen : It seems to me that Des Moines is more centrally 

 located for all the secretaries, and this is where it ought to be held. 

 It is a matter of importance to the attraction men to arrange for 

 the different kinds of fireworks at this meeting, and I am in favor of 

 Des Moines. 



President-elect Scholfield : It seems to me that the tw^o speak- 

 ers we have called on are favorable to it. Are there any speakers 

 unfavorable to it? If so, I w^ould like to hear from them. All 

 those who w^ill promise to attend a spring meeting, please rise. 



Six or eight stand to their feet. 



President-elect Scholfield : In order to get it definitely and for- 

 mally before the meeting, all in favor of a spring meeting, this 

 coming spring, please rise to your feet. 



Six rise to their feet. 



President-elect Scholfield : Those opposed to it rise. 



None opposed. 



President-elect Scholfield : In other words, you don't care any- 

 thing about it. A\^ith the interest that is taken in it, I don't be- 

 lieve the officers ought to go ahead with it, unless later on some 

 definite action is taken. 



Entertainment.
