H. J. XEITERT, CHAIRMAN. 



Mr. I'resident, Ladies and Gentlemen : Before reading this re- 

 ]j()rt, I wish to dehver a message from Senator Erickson, who 

 was here during this convention an,d who is also one of the com- 

 missioners from Iowa to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 

 the dairy exhihit heing under his charge. The Senator wished 

 me to announce to the members and people in attendance here 

 that he was much pleased at the sessions and that he would be 

 glad to assist the committee or any one who might appear before 

 the legislature to aid and further the dairy interests of the State, 

 and also to obtain increased appropriation for the dairy depart- 

 ment, which is absolutely necessary. He, being one of the mem- 

 bers of the district in which Boone county is located, desired me 

 to say that he is a friend to the dairymen of Iowa and will do all 

 in his power to assist them. 



I have here a resolution handed me just before the party de- 

 siring it offered left. 



Resolved, That the secretary be instructed to write to the proprietors 

 or manager of each creamery in the State of Iowa, requesting them to 

 remit the sum of one dollar ($1) to defray the expenses of the "Iowa 

 State Butter-makers' Band," which is to accompany the Iowa delegation 

 to the next annual convention of the National Creamery Butter-makers' 

 Association, and that the same request be sent to each butter-maker of 

 the said creameries. 



Mc'tion duly seconded and adopted as read. 



Mr. Xkitkrt : I will read the resolutions incorporated by 

 your committee, composed of Mr. \A'right, Mr. Smarzo and my- 

 self.
