niaii of the State; tlie other is Honorable Wihiani K. Boardnian, 

 buccessively State dairy commissioner fen" two terms, president 

 cf this association and president of the Xatic^nal Association, 

 the most indefatigable ^vorker in the mterest of dairymg in 

 Iowa that the State has ever had, and we do ourselves greater 

 honor in holicn-ing William K. Boardman than we could confer 

 in any other way. I again move the adoption of the letter. 



^lotion duly seconded and carried. 



The PrESIDExT : Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock Professor 

 IMcKav will l:e at the Ijutter-room and we are ready to com- 

 inence instructions to classes of exhibitors. A\'e are going to 

 commence alphab>etically and want every exhibitor whose name 

 commences with A and some of those whose names commence 

 with B to be there Ijy 9 o'clock, when Professor McKay will 

 commence the instructions. 



Everyone who- has railroad certificates will please hand them 

 to ]\lr. Leighton. He has commenced to sign them and will re- 

 turn them to you. We must have one hundred before we can 

 get reduced rates, so please attend to this as soon as possible 

 after adjournment. 



Tomorrow at 1 1 o'clock our constitution provides for election 

 of officers. The l^r.tter-room wWl be closed. A\'e want a full 

 attendance at tliat tin^e. It will on.ly take a short time, and, as 

 I said before, you are all interested in that and we want you here 

 at the election. Xow, a.lxuit the scores, I want to ask this as a 

 favor. It has alwa}s been our experience that as soon as butter- 

 makers knew th.ch' scores they were inclin'ed to go home. Wq 

 have in.troduced something new in taking vou in classes through. 

 the butter-room and we want to ask that unless absolutelv nec- 

 essary for you to go, you remain during the convention just the 

 same as thouoh we had not done this. 



Another important ]natter. The association is supported 

 largely through memljershi]) fees of $1, and we want e\'erybody 

 to come an.d take out a membership from the treasurer, \h'. 

 Leighton. 



Question: I have been asked to incjuire if none Init exhibitors 

 are admitted to that instruction in the morning.
