STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION. 619 



The President: A motion is in order to incoi-porate tliat in a reso- 

 Intion. 



Mr. Sclilosser: Mr. Chairman— In regard to this bill of Mr. Parks', of 

 Marshall County, he has promised me time and again that he will do any- 

 thing- reasonable for the dairy interests of this State, provided we can 

 give him proper support, and he wanted to know what help the State 

 Dairy Association could give him if he would introduce a measure of 

 this kind, or any other measure looking to our interests, and we should 

 certainly adopt a strong resolution giving him the assurance that we 

 heartily indorse his action in this matter. 



Mr. Drischel: I want to cite you the facts. We were seeking business 

 with the East Haven Asylum, at Richmond. I was informed by the 

 Superintendent of that institution fovu- or Ave years ago that he thought it 

 Avas lietter for the State to buy oleo, becau,se it was cheaper and was 

 just as good as l)ntter. I did not like tbe insinuation; in fact, I got a 

 little indignant. And that is one of the instances Mr. Schlosser alluded 

 to, that we embrace that important resolution in the resolution we have. 



The President: Air. Schlosser, draw the resolution that you li\le. 



Mr. Schlosser: I would like to say another word on this question. 

 Senator Parks has lieen making a study of the institutions of the State, 

 and he told me there was not a state institution that was eating butter but 

 one, and that used it simply because they had a few cows, and they eat 

 whatever these cows produce. That is the condition of affairs in the 

 State of Indiana, and yoii can also realize what they feed us on in the 

 hotels in the State of Indiana; Ave found that out in Lafayette. I be- 

 lieve Indiana is able to produce enough l)utter to feed its own inhabitants. 



Mr. Burnside: If Ave send that Ijcgislative Committee doAvn to In- 

 dianapolis witli a strong resolution from this organization we will do them 

 some good, for this reason, for Ave in.tend to tell them how many dairy- 

 men there are in Indiana, Avliich Avill mean something. 



The President: We Avill now, Avhile they are preparing this resolution, 

 have the prize essaj^ read.
