.Mr. .\\i>KRsoN. W'c will lic:ir Mr. Skinner. Ynyi ici)resont whom? 



.Mr. Skinner. The National Dairy Association. 



Mr. Anderson. The committee will take up this morninj; the item 

 on pa^'e 8.'i. to enahle the Secretary Of Ajiriculture to make suitahle 

 a<rricultural exhihits at State, interstate, and international fairs held 

 within the I'nited States, etc. The estimate calls for >!s.").(is(). as com- 

 pared with $70,000 last year. 



Mr. Skinner. Our interest in this thin<r this yeai- more than any 

 other. Mr. Chairman, is that in 11)2;^ the Con^jress of the United 

 other. Mr. Chairman, is that the Congress of the United States 

 requested the President to invite in 1028 the dairy interests of the 

 world to assemhle here for a world's dairy con<rress. And at that 

 time we i)urpose makin<r our national show international in charac- 

 ter, so as to encompass the world's industry, and we are very keenly 

 concerned over the j^resentation of the industry to be made by the 

 Department of A<;riculture. that it he sufl^ciently impressive to carry 

 a messajxe of si<jnificance to these people with reference to our size 

 and importance and as to our ability to resist any intrusions while 

 we are developin<.r our own industry. So that T am seekin^r a lar<rer 

 exhibit, and perhaps one that will carry t() .some extent a different 

 character of me.ssa«je than that delivered this year at our show in 

 Minnesota, and we are ur<;ino; ui)on the department the necessity for 

 j;oin<T into (greater detail so as to enhance the value of our exhibit to 

 our Own consumin<r j)opulation as well as the |)ro<lucintr interests in 

 other sections of the country than that occupied by the show the last 

 two years.
