CHAS. LAMONT, 

 SAM B. WOODS, 

 HENRY SCHLOSSER. 



Mr. Argo: I move that the committee's report be received. 



Motion carried. 



The President: I believe that concludes the committee work, ex- 

 cept appointing the Legislative Committee. Last year we had a Legis- 

 lative Committee appointed, and I take the privilege this year to reor- 

 ganize that committee. As it stands now it is reorganized and enlarged. 

 I will appoint Mr. Burnside as chairman of that committee, and Dr. 

 Woollen as secretary, and members Mr. Swan, Mr. Sam Schlosser, Mr. 

 Drischel, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Billingsley and Mr. Hill, making a committee 

 of eight. Take notice, this committee must do their work, and do it now. 

 Don't wait for the last week of the Legislature. The chairman will try 

 and have a meeting of that committee tomorrow to get ready to go to 

 work. He promised me he would try and be in Indianapolis tomorrow, 

 and he would try and get that committee together, and we want each 

 member of this Association to consider themselves a committee of one 

 to work on their individual Representative from their county. We feel 

 that we have got to do a personal work to succeed in this legislative work 

 as we should. 



I don't know but what it would be in order as your retiring President 

 to say a word in regard to Purdue. Purdue is an institution that the 

 citizens of the farming portion of the great State of Indiana do not realize 

 what they have in Purdue. They do not realize what they have in the 

 faculty that is at Purdue, that Purdue is in charge of, and we feel that 

 we, as a Dairy Association, ought to return to them our most sincere 

 thanks for the courtesy they have shown us in this meeting. I want, as 

 your Pi-esident, to extend to you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the 

 courtesy you have shown me. I feel that this has been a record breaker 

 meeting of the Dairy Association of the State of Indiana. [Applause.] 



Mr. Burnside: I want to say what I have to say sitting on this 

 chair. I know you will excuse me for not getting up. I went to bed night 

 before last, and I haven't been out of my room since. I went away from 

 here suffering with neuralgia, and if any of you know how that feels, 

 you know how I am suffering.
