SIXTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART V. 345 



some way to meet that demand, and unless we know what you want 

 we cannot do as much as we wish for you, — just as it is here in your 

 own state at home. I feel sure that we have the hearty sympathy of 

 the dairymen of Iowa, in fact I feel we have the sympathy of the 

 dairymen throughout the country, and if you can help in this work 

 by your sympathy, by your encouragement, you do not know how much 

 good you may be doing right in your own state and in other states to 

 increase the profits of dairying. 



I am glad I can bring some of these matters to your attention 

 and I hope that by so doing you will see what a part you play in the 

 department of agriculture, as you have in your experiment stations, 

 as you have in this organization, — it is all yours and you should reap 

 results from it. 



I want to thank you for the attention you have given me. I only 

 wish I could express in stronger terms the way I feel in regard to this 

 matter, but you know my limitations in that line and I want to bespeak 

 for this organization the future it should have. I believe you will go 

 on and become a power that will not only secure the necessary funds 

 for yourself but for your experiment station, and will help spread the 

 gospel of dairying further and further every year as you may meet 

 together in your annual meetings. 



The President : I would like to make an announcement at 

 this time, and that is, according to the by-laws of our organiza- 

 tion, the election of officers should be held the middle day of our 

 session, so therefore tomorrow at 1 1 o'clock we will meet to 

 elect your officers for the ensuing year and I hope we will have a 

 good aattendance at that time. 



The Chairman: We will now stand adjourned until ii 

 o'clock tomorrow morning.
