NINTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VII 309 
day in the one great cause of telling the folks about Kansas till that state 
is known the country over. Coburn has brought thousands of settlers to 
Kansas and kept thousands more from moving away. He's worth more to 
Kansas than any other official she has. 
And look at Minnesota. They figure that state can support 30,000,000 
people. They've got one-tenth that many and are now out after the rest. 
Last year they spent just a little money advertising land and business 
opportunities. The state immigration bureau was swamped with 60,000 
inquiries from homeseekers and investors. This has opened their eyes 
and the commercial clubs of the state are working together for an appro- 
priation of $100,000 a year to advertise Minnesota. And it will be the 
best investment Minnesota can possible make. 
Speed the day when Iowa shall begin to advertise; when we shall keep 
at honie those who should stay and bring into the str..e the thousands for 
whom fortunes are waiting here. 
When Iowa's advertising man gets to work in earnest, when dairying 
and intensive farming become general throughout the state, our farm 
population will increase, our bank deposits grow, our factories thrive and 
all Iowa virtually flow with milk and honey. I thank you. 
President: We will next hear from the conimittee on resolu- 
tions. Mr. AYright is chairman. 
]\Ir. Wright : As chairman of the resolution committee, I have 
the following to orer : 
Resolved, That the Iowa State Dairy Association express its high ap- 
preciation of the w^elcome given this convention by the Waterloo Com- 
mercial Club, the mayor and the citizens, as well as the daily press of the 
city. That the success of this convention has been greater because of the 
delightful music furnished by Jules Lumbard, E. C. Lytton, E. T. Sadler 
and their accompanists. That the thanks of this association are given 
to the friends of the association who contributed to the funds, and to the 
Northey Manufacturing Company for the use of their butter room. ^ 
We recommend that the state legislature make an appropriation of not 
less than $10,000 a year for use of the Iowa State Dairy Association, said 
funds to be expended for the holding of short courses in dairying through- 
out the state and in the conduct of educational meetings and campaigns 
among the farmers for the purpose of teaching scientific methods in dairy- 
ing, feeding, breeding and the care of dairy products on the farm looking 
toward increasing the butter-fat product of Iowa cows, the keeping of 
better cows, the adoption of better methods and an increase of profits 
from dairying to the farmers in this state. 
We believe that a bill should be passed by the Thirty-third General 
Assembly of Iowa, authorizing an appropriation by the state to provide 
for a fair and reasonable compensation to the owners of cattle slaughtered, 
after having been tested and condemned as being infected with tubercu- 
losis. 
Be it further Resolved, That this association petition the Thirty-third 
General Assembly to enact a law prohibiting discriminations in prices 
paid for milk, cream or butter-fat by any creamery in this state.
