420 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



to the talk of the newly elected secretary here this morning he 

 looked mighty good to me. He looks like a fellow who is capable 

 of doing a lot of good hard work, and I wonder if the members of 

 this association appreciate the amount of work that is connected 

 with this office. I understand that the secretaries in the past have 

 been given $150 a year for the work. We are going to expect a 

 great deal more work in the future. The association is growing 

 and it necessarily must be done, and it isn't fair to ask a man to 

 give the time necessary to carry on this work for the amount we 

 are now paying. I, therefore, move that we pay in the future $250 

 instead of $150 to the secretary. 



(The motion was seconded by Mr. Zell and unanimously car- 

 ried.) 



Mr. Wentworth : It seems hardly right under the conditions to 

 ask a man to work as hard and devote his time to the duties placed 

 upon the treasurer of this association without pay. In our by- 

 laws there is no salary attached to the office of treasurer, and it 

 seems nothing more than right and just that some financial recogni- 

 tion be made for this time and work. I would suggest that in 

 order to cover this expense we appropriate a sum of $50 from 

 the funds now in the treasury to Mr. Odell. 



(The motion was seconded by Mr. Johnson and unanimously 

 carried.) 



Mr. Barney : I believe there is nothing further so far as the 

 election of officers is concerned. The buttermakers' session follows 

 this election and I am going to turn the meeting over to Mr. Ste- 

 phenson. 



Mr. Wentworth : I would like to make one suggestion. This 

 organization is growing very rapidly. We are confident in the 

 opinion that it is going to grow more rapidly in the future. Sug- 

 gestions have been made in the last few meetings as to the benefits 

 that could be derived from broadening this association's scope, and 

 I would suggest that it would be a proper matter to bring before 

 the convention that a committee be appointed to revise the by-laws 

 and report at the next convention. 



Mr. Barney : I think that is a splendid suggestion. 



Mr. Wentworth: I move that a committee be appointed to re- 

 vise the by-laws after careful consideration and make such addi- 

 tions and changes as may be deemed necessary. 



(Motion seconded by Prof. Mortensen and unanimously car- 

 ried.)
