Vice-President Stephenson : I think about eleven years ago this 

 fall or winter I attended my first meeting of the Iowa State Dairy 

 Association. During that eleven years this association has made 

 a phenomenal growth. You remember for a number of rears this 

 question came up : " How are we going to get the farmers out ? ' ' 

 You know that at our meeting in Waterloo last fall was the first 

 time we ever had any great number of farmers in attendance. 

 It was due to the untiring efforts of the officers of this association 

 that the business men of Waterloo got behind us and here we are 

 again this year with possibly five times the attendance of farmers 

 we had last year. One of those officers is the president of the as- 

 sociation, and it gives me pleasure to introduce E. H. Shoemaker, 

 president of the Iowa State Dairy Association. 



ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT. 



E. R. SnoEMAiiER, Waterloo, Iowa. 



This is the 3 5th annual meeting of the Iowa State Dairy Associa- 

 tion. Thirty-five years is a long time for an organization to have been 

 in existence. There are younger dairy associations than ours. There 

 are older ones. But, be they younger or be they older, the Iowa 

 organization is called the peer of them all. And I say this not to 

 boast, but to speak the truth and give credit where credit is due.
