PROCEEDINGS IOWA STATE FAIR MANAGERS ASSN. 65 



Therefore be it resolved, That the Iowa Fair Managers' Association go 

 on record as approving this rule and recommend the strict enforcement 

 of same by all members of this association. 



That there has been considerable misunderstanding regarding the ap- 

 plication of the rule, as it applies to the testing of cattle which rule reads 

 as follows: 



Rule 11 (Amended). 



All cattle for exhibition or other purposes at the Iowa State Fair or 

 any fair or exhibition held within the state of Iowa, shall be either from 

 a Tuberculosis-Free Accredited Herd or from a herd that has passed one 

 clean test, within one year, under the cooperative plan for the accredit- 

 ing of herds. Cattle other than those above specified shall have passed 

 a satisfactory tuberculin test and found to be free from tuberculosis not 

 more than 90 days prior to the opening date of exhibition at each fair. 



Therefore be it resolved, That the Iowa Fair Managers' Association go 

 on record as approving this rule and recommend carrying out and strict 

 enforcement of same, and that any failure on the part of either ex- 

 hibitor or the fair management in enforcing this rule be promptly re- 

 ported to the State Veterinarian of Iowa for the protection of all ex- 

 hibitors. 



We further recommend that all members of this association who con- 

 duct harness horse racing employ license timers, and that all special 

 suppression time be eliminated. 



Be it resolved, That the Iowa Fair Managers' Association go on record 

 in favor of rigid economy in the conduct of its affairs, but that the dues 

 be not lowered until a sufficient and adequate fund has been accumulated 

 to take care of the legitimate needs of this association, especially for 

 educational, publicity and legislative purposes. Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Quarton : I move the adoption of the resolutions as pre- 

 sented. 



The motion seconded. 



President Estel : You have heard the motion that the resolutions 

 as read be adopted. All in favor of the motion signify by saying 

 aye. Contrary the same sign. The motion is carried and the reso- 

 lutions are adopted. 



We will now hear from Mr. Williams. 



Mr. E. W. Williams: Iowa fair managers and secretaries must take 

 an invoice of themselves. For this reason many of the fairs of Iowa 

 are not up to the standard they should be. They are spending more 

 money than they are really taking in. After you arrive home, take 

 last year's book and look up the number of stock listed in each depart- 

 ment, the amount of profit made, and the amount of money expended 

 for free acts, etc. There are some of these fairs misrepresenting last
