 taining instruction and training in dairy husbandry have been compelled 

 to go to neighboring states in order that they may gain the desired educa- 

 tion and training; therefore be it 



RESOLVED, That we request and instruct, and that we de hereby re- 

 quest and instruct, our Representatives in the Senate and House of Repre- 

 senatives of the State of Illinois, to use their influence to secure the pas- 

 sage of an act, and that they do pass an act appropriating the sum of one 

 hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) for the special needs of the 

 College of Agriculture and Experiment Station of the University of Illi- 

 nois at Champaign, and we demand at least thirty thousand dollars ($30,- 

 000) of this amount shall be used for the purpose of building and suitably 

 equipping a building with modern appliances for the purpose of giving in- 

 struction and training in methods in dairy manufactures, and for the pur- 

 pose and for the use of the State Experiment Station in conducting ex- 

 perimental work for the advancement of the interests of Dairy Husbandry.

 tors and Representatives to pass a law to provide for a State Dairy Com- 

 misioner, who shall devote his entire time to enforcing the dairy laws at 

 present on the statute book, and which are openly violated in every town 

 of the state; also to appropriate ten thousand doilars ($10,000) for his 

 salary, maintenance of the office, and expenses necessary in enforcing the 

 laws.

 oleomargarine, or so called process butter, in fact all substitutes sold for 

 butter, shall not be colored in semnlance of butter, and the words "Elgin," 

 "Creamery," or "Dairy" shall not be used in connection with such substi- 

 tutions, and such laws be kept in revenue department for enforcement. 



RESOLVED, That the members of this Association here assembled do 

 hereby pledge themselves to earnestly work for the accomplishment of 

 this purpose; and that we will give our aid and support only to such men 

 as will pledge themselves to this en4.
