STATE DAIEY^ ASSOCIATION. 615 



notice of the young people of this State the need for, and the opportunity 

 open to, the person trained for definite position in tlie dairy business, and 

 to urge uiK)n them tlie value of a course at Purdue Dairy School. 



Resolved. That we commend the work in utlier departments of the 

 School of Agriculture while recognizing the need of further equipment, 

 Itarticnlaiiy in live stock, to make it commensurate with the agi-icultural 

 interests of our State. 



In view of the fact lliat we liave not a i-epresentaf,ve herd of dair^ 

 cattle on the Experimental Farm, therefore be it 



Resolved, That we emphatically urge that the Board of Trustees take 

 steps at once to secure a herd of pure-bred dairy cattle that will be a 

 credit to tlie great State of Indiana. 



Resolved. Th;it we ai'e in hearty accoi-d with tlie I'.oard of Trustees 

 and I'ecoiiiiiieiid tli.'it the Dairy Deiinrtiiieiit in tlie Agricultural Building 

 be fully e(pii|)i»ed for all dairy purjioses. 



Resolved. Tli;il it is the sense of this Associ.-ition that the State Legis- 

 lature appropriate not less than .*;i.<l(i(l for (lie necessary use of thfe State 

 Dairy Association.

 excellent imrc food law. Imt wliicii eaii not l>e proiierly enforced on ac- 

 count of not having ;i laboratory and chemist to analyze the various 

 adulterated and iinitation food products; therefore, be it 



Resolved. That we recommend that the State Legislature, now iu ses- 

 sion, appropriate enough money to establish a well equipped laboratory 

 and ])rocure a competent chemist for this important work. 



Whereas, It is known that Senator Parks has introduced in the State 

 Senate, now in 'session, a bill to prolii))it the use of oleomargarine in our 

 State institutions; therefore bt> it 



Resolved. That the Indiana State Dairy Association lend all possible 

 support to the Senator in securing the passage of this measure. 



\Miereas, At the last session of Congress a law was passed imposing a 

 tax of 10 cents per pound on colored oleomargarine, which we all realize 

 has done much for the dairymen, and knowing that the oleomargarine 

 manufacturers are only awaiting a favorable opportunity to secure the 

 rei)eal of this law; therefore ))e it 



Resolved. That the d.-iiry interests of our State lend all possible sup- 

 port to the officers of the National Dairy Union, who are now striving to 

 prevent the repeal of this law and secure its proper enforcement. 



Resolved, That this Association commends the work of the National 

 Department of Agriculture in its enforcement of the oleomargarine and 

 renovated butter laws. 



Resolved, That we recommend the aAvarding of medals or cups for all 

 first prizes hereafter. 



Resolved, That we take this opportunity to heartily endorse the candi- 

 dacy of Mr. E. Sudendorf for superintendent of dairy exhibits for the
