170 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



strides made by this institution in the past few years has been largely 

 due to their management, good judgment and untiring efforts in carry- 

 ing out the work delegated to them by this Board; And 



Whereas, Our esteemed President had expected to retire from this 

 Board after this year; and whereas we feel it would be a detriment to 

 the Great Iowa State Fair, which has now reached the front rank of 

 such institutions, to dispense with his valuable services for at least 

 another year: 



We therefore urge him to allow his name to again be presented 

 at the next annual meeting for re-election; and we pledge him our 

 undivided support, knowing as we do the great value of his experience 

 and untiring fidelity in the unbuilding of the Iowa State Fair." 



On motion Board adjourned.
