 work in behalf of the association and the dairy interests of the state at 

 large he is entitled to the sincere and hearty thanks of every member ©f 

 this association. 



Resolved, That this association appreciates the good results already 

 obtained and to be secured through the work of expert instructors of dairy- 

 men and butter makers; and that the magnitude of the dairy industry of 

 this state warrants us in asking that the next session of the legislature 

 give authority for the appointment of five additional assistant dairy com- 

 missioners, to the end that the profits of the dairy people of the state may 

 be increased, and the industry further developed. 



Resolved, That we most heartily endorse and recommend the appoint- 

 ment of Mr. Edward Sudendorf as superintendent of the dairy exhibit at 

 the Louisiana Purchase dairy exhibition, whose peculiar fitness for the 

 place is everywhere recognized.

 endorsement to the great exposition to be held in St. Louis, in 1904, com- 

 memorating the Louisiana Purchase of which Iowa was a part. 



Resolved, That this association tender to the Iowa commission to this 

 exposition their hearty co-operation in providing a display of the dairy 

 products of the state, that the great industry may be creditably repre- 

 sented, and Iowa maintain her position in the world as the greatest of all 

 dairy producing states. 



Resolved, That the thanks of this association are hereby tendered to 

 Chief F. W. Taylor of the exposition, for his address and for the interest 

 shown by his special visit to this meeting; to Hon. C. J. A. Ericson, Chair- 

 man of the committee of the state dairy exhibits from Iowa, and for his 

 able presentation of the matter; to Mr. Edward D. Brigham, State Labor
