dairy men of the state I would like to see him, for I never heard 

 of one. I wish to nominate Mr. F. A. Leighton of Hampton for- 

 treasurer. I know he will be a thorough worker, and the funds 

 will be safe in his hands and will not be lost if he will keep some 

 of the rabble like myself away from him. 



Me. Anderson: I rise to second the nomination of Mr. Leigh- 

 ton. 



Nominations were declared closed and the secretary instructed 

 to cast the ballot of the association for F. A. Leighton for treas- 

 urer. 



Me. Leighton : Gentlemen of the dairy association, I thank 

 you very cordially for this honor you have conferred upon me. I 

 assure you I shall take pleasure in working with the officers yon 

 have elected and I will do all I can to further the interests of 

 Iowa butter makers and Iowa dairymen. I thank you. 



President : We left over two reports from our program of 

 yesterday afternoon. We will listen to them now. I will say 

 that our treasurer, Mr. Ashby, failed to come, but sent his books, 

 and your secretary, Mr. Daly, will read the report of the treas- 

 urer as well as the secretary's report.
