290 IOWA DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE 



that, one of the points I want to emphasize now, because I am not 

 going to speak again, and that is this : I think every fair official, 

 or man present here tonight who has been present at the session 

 this afternoon and feels that this association is accomplishing any 

 good, if he has got anything out of this meeting that is worth while 

 to take home, that he should take it upon himself to do good work 

 amongst other fair officials that he chances to meet and tell them 

 about it and help work up enthui^iasm for this association and 

 help increase the membership. It is a hard thing for one man to 

 do, and I certainly do not mean that one man has done it by any 

 means, because Mr. Mullen, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Leach, and others 

 that I might mention, have done much. But I want you to under- 

 stand it in the spirit in which I say this. I am not finding any 

 fault, but I do think we all could do a little more. There is Mr. 

 Pickard, and Mr. Shipman, I sent him a list in his district, and 

 he wrote quite a lot of letters, and we had quite a little co-operation 

 that the secretary appreciates. 



The President: What will we do with the report? 

 Moved that the report be accepted and placed on file. Motion 

 seconded and carried. 



The President : What is the further pleasure of the meeting 

 in regard to the recommendation of the secretary? 



Mr. Clark : I move that the constitution be amended by strik- 

 ing out the word "four" and inserting the word "five" in place 

 thereof; that is, making the dues $5.00 per year instead of $4.00 

 per year. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



The President: The next is the election of officers. 

 Mr. Pickard: I was going to inquire whether there will be 

 enough money to get out a pamphlet of some kind giving the 

 discussions and the papers, and send it to each member. There 

 are some members that are paying that do not get here; and I 

 think perhaps that would be of benefit to them to get a copy of 

 the minutes of the meeting, the papers, etc. 



Mr. Rigby: I would answer that in the negative, and 1 also 

 wish to supplement my remarks with a special testimonial of my 

 regard and appreciation of Mr. Corey's help in getting up this 

 program, and in co-operating with us and helping to share the 

 expense of getting up this program. I am afraid we would not 

 have done quite as well as we have done if it had not been for 

 that, and we certainly appreciate Mr. Corey's help and the advices
