590 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



Upon motion, the report of the Auditing Committee was adopted 

 as read. 



T. D. Rittgers : I would suggest that some of those good things 

 that have been accomplished by this association be placed on a 

 card and sent to each member, so that when a man tells us we 

 are doing no good, we can refer him to that, and not have to carry 

 the president's address around with us. I believe by the use of 

 such a card, the pledges would come easier, and we would get 

 more members. 



S. M. Corrie: "We all get the annual report, and the president's 

 address will be included in it, but, as suggested, we want some- 

 thing that is easily accessible, something that a man can carry 

 with him and show to his neighbors without a book; and I think, 

 if it is not too much expense, it will be a good thing to have this 

 card in addition to the annual report. 



Mr. Thompson : We ought to have a committee appointed to 

 draft what we would like to have on that card. I would like to 

 hear from somebody else, and, if possible, I will withdraw the 

 motion. 



Mr. Dawson: I think the suggestion that we appoint a com- 

 mittee to decide what we shall have placed on this card is a good 

 one, because we ought to have it right. 



Mr. Corrie: I move that a special committee of three be ap- 

 pointed by the chair. , 



Motion submitted and declared carried. 



The President : I will appoint as the Committee on Resolutions 

 the following : James Brockway, D. P. Hogan, Jerome Smith, A. 

 L. Stephens, D. W. Anglun, Wm. Larrabee, David Muir, Joseph 

 Eisele, S. M. Corrie, J. B. Dunning, R. M. Gunn. 



At this meeting, the term of the directors in the odd-numbered 

 districts expires : J. M. Brockway, in the first ; David Muir, in the 

 third; Mr. Arney, in the fifth; Mr, Westcott, in the seventh; T. 

 L. Meyers, in the ninth; "Will Drury, in the eleventh. You should 

 hold your caucuses some time before the time for the banquet this 

 evening, at which the nominations will be confirmed by the con 

 vention. 



The other committee will be announced after lunch, and we will 

 now stand adjourned until 1 :30 p. m.
