ELEVENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VIII 397 



Mr. Barney: I agree with Mr. (.'Invcr. and T want to go a little 

 further. I have been waiting for the opportunity to talk a little 

 to sonic of the managers of the creameries. As I see it. in Iowa 

 grers do no1 give their : rs time enough to gel nexl to 



the patron. It' they would give them more help so they could gel 

 out among their patrons more they would gel much better results. 



Mr. Stephenson: We arc now about 30 minutes late, so we will 

 have to adjourn. Remember that this afternoon at 2 o'clock we 

 have a very interesting program, and let us all get here on time. 



Adjournment. 



WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, 2 O'CLOCK. 



The President: I have a few announcements' to make. I will

 tion is concerned. I will announce the following committees : Reso- 

 lutions, Judge W. B. Quarton, R. B. Young, II. E. Fowler; audit-

Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Dairymen. — I want to say just a 

 word to this dairy association. I can not resist the desire to compliment

 this kind in any state that have been as good and it is certainly a splen- 

 did thing for the dairy interests of Iowa. 



There are a few problems that I am interested in that apply to this 

 state, and I am going to talk for a little while about these problems. I 

 don't know whether I am talking to farmers, producers of dairy products 

 or to manufacturers, but I assume that most of you are interested in both. 

 You have now in the state about 542 creameries. You are producing about 

 100,000.000 pounds of butter per year according to your last report. The 

 Chicago market for the year 1909 quoted a difference between extras and 

 firsts of 3% cents. Now suppose that your butter — your 100,000,000 pounds, 

 sold for 1 cent a pound on an average less than extras. That would mean 

 $1,000,000. Two cents a pound would mean $2,000,000, 3 cents $3,000,000, 

 etc. But you say all your butter was not firsts, and I say you are right. I 

 don't know how much of it sold as extras, neither do I know how much 

 sold as firsts in Iowa, Wisconsin or any other state, but I do know that 

 when you go into these markets, Chicago, New York or any other large
