THIRTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART IX 489 



count of some unavoidable reason the state printer has not got 

 this work printed as yet and hence it will be necessary for me to 

 tell you briefly some of the important business that has come to 

 our attention since our last meeting. Your executive committee 

 has held several meetings during the year. The first meeting was 

 held at Des Moines, December 12th, 1911, and at that time we 

 found it necessary to re-incorporate the Iowa State Dairy Asso- 

 ciation as the Secretary of State had notified me that our period 

 of incorporated time had expired. The twenty years of existence 

 expired December 1, 1911, and in consequence the committee 

 called a special meeting of the Association and voted a renewal 

 of corporate existence, and the following was adopted: 



RENEWAL OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF THE IOWA STATE 

 DAIRY ASSOCIATION. 



Know all men by these presents: 



That at a special meeting of the members of the Iowa State Dairy As- 

 sociation a corporation duly organized under. the laws of the state of 

 Iowa, held at the Chamberlain Hotel in the city of Des Moines, Iowa, on 

 the 12th day of December, A. D. 1911, at two o'clock P. M., it was duly 

 voted by the members present to extend the corporate existence of said 

 corporation as shown below. 



EXTENSION OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE. 



It was duly voted by said members present at the special meeting as 

 determined by the resolutions adopted, that the period of existence of 

 said corporation be renewed and the corporate period continued for a 

 term of twenty years, viz., to the first day of December, 1931. 



The present officers of the association are as follows: 



B. R. Shoemaker — President. 



F. W. Stephenson — Vice-President, 



F. L. Odell— Treasurer, 



J. J. Ross — Secretary, 



Who hold their office until the newly elected officers are qualified on

 follows : 



R. B. Young — President. 



L. L. Flickinger — Vice-President. 



E. T. Sadler — Treasurer.

The Secretary, J. J. Ross, and W. B. Barney, who were present at said 

 meeting were duly authorized and directed to sign, acknowledge, verify 

 and record and do all things which are by law required to execute, com- 

 plete and carry into effect the extension of corporate existence of said cor-
