Chairman : The next, I believe, is the appointment of the several 
committees. I will appoint the following: 
Legislative Committee — E. E. Shoemaker, Waterloo; W. W. 
Marsh, Waterloo ; W. B. Quarton, Algona ; B. W. Newberry, Straw- 
berry Point ; F. A. Leigh ton, Des Moines. 
Resolution Committee — H. R. Wright, Des Moines; T. J. Julian, 
Algona; F. W. Stephenson, Lamont. 
Chairman: We have found it necessary to revise our by-laws, 
and for that purpose I will appoint a committee. On that com- 
mittee I propose to appoint as chairman P. H. Kieffer, of New 
York. Mr. Kieffer is familiar with the workings of the associa- 
tion and I thought it necessary to put men on there that knew some- 
thing of what we would have to do to revise them. The present 
by-laws were adopted about seventeen years ago and nothing has 
been changed since. Other members will be L. S. Edwards, of 
Parkersburg; H. J. Nietert, of Walker. 
Auditing Committee — F. W. Mack, Waterloo; M. J. Johnson, 
Shell Rock; D. D. Parker, Des Moines. 
Vice-President: The next on our program is our President's 
annual address, W. B. Barney, whom I think needs no introduction 
to this association. Mr. Barney: 
PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS. 
W. B. BARNEY, HAMPTON, IOWA. 
Since our last meeting held in Des Moines a year ago, we have gone 
through with a panic and a presidential election. On account of the 
stability of our business, neither has materially affected the Iowa dairy- 
men and I am able to again contratulate you at the close of the thirty- 
second year of our existence on the prosperous condition of the associa- 
tion.
