question of that, and I want to again urge that you stay over 

 and attend the meeting tomorrow morning. We have a good 

 programme for the entire day and it will pay you to wait for it. 



Professor McKay : I would like to say a word. It has been 

 announced on the programme that I would go through the butter- 

 room tomorrow morning, show the buttermakers their butter 

 and point out defects and suggests remedies. I went through 

 the butter-room this morning, not knowing that this was on the 

 programme, but I will stay over and spend an hour or an hour 

 and a half with the buttermakers, commencing at 9 o'clock I 

 shall be pleased to meet those buttermakers who have not seen 

 their butter today, go over their butter and suggest remedies to 

 improve the quality of their butter. 



Hon. H. R. Wright: The committee on resolutions has two 

 or three resolutions which they desire to present at this time. 

 There has been one subject of conversation on everybody's 

 tongue today, but I do not intend to discuss this matter at any 

 length except to say that the shameful and disgraceful occur- 

 rence of last evening cast a stain of disgrace upon the associa- 

 tion here and upon every individual member of it. 



After consulting with some of the members of this association, 

 the committee on resolutions offers the following resolution, in 

 order that the public may understand in a formal way that we 

 deplore that occurrence and the facts which led up to it, and 

 which for so long have weakened the influence of this associa- 

 tion, and which possibly seem about to destroy its usefulness 

 altogether. I ask your attention to the reading of this resolu- 

 tion because I propose to move its unanimous adoption. 



Resolved, That we earnestly coDdemn the drunkenness and criminal 

 rowdiness that has marked the conduct of a few attendants at this meeting, 

 and that we sincerely regret and deplore the sad results of such conduct on 

 last night. 



Resolved^ That we demand that all firms and companies who send repre- 

 sentatives to this association shall keep away from its meetings those of their 

 men whose presence tends to drunkenness and rowdiness. 



Resolved^ That this association will no longer tolerate the presence of 

 such persons and we insist that they refrain from attending the meetings of 

 the Iowa State Dairy Association. 



Motion to adopt resolutions unanimously, being made and 

 seconded, the motion was declared carried. 



Whereupon meeting adjourned.
