Mr. Wyman : Perhaps, if you understood the situ- 

 ation thoroughly, your opinion might be modified in 

 regard to that matter. 



Mk. Monrad : I have been pleased to hear that Mr. 

 Dysart acknowledges that he has got his eyes opened 

 considerably on the importance of dairy work. You 

 see here is an industry and the interest is so scattered 

 they can't join together like the manufacturers of ma- 

 chinery or the mining interest, and it is a case where 

 the State is bound to help them. 



Mr. Wyman : The legislature has seemed to have 

 full control of this matter from the start. It set apart 

 $80,000 for the women, also $40,000 for the live stock ; 

 there is $120,000 over which we have no control ; then 

 the World's Fair directors refuse to allow us to put 

 up the building that we calculated putting up, and it 

 takes lots of money. We are trying to divide this matter 

 up between the committees, and arrange it so as to 

 make a creditable exhibition to every department, 

 and we think we have given due consideration to every 

 department. The apportionment committee figured 

 very carefully and reported to the board, and they de- 

 cided that they could give the agricultural and dairy- 

 ing departments, of this State $30,000. I thought we 

 ought to have $50,000, but after hearing all the re- 

 ports and discussions I became satisfied that under all 

 the circumstances we were getting a fair apportion- 

 ment. I consulted with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Gurler 

 as to the amount in outline by which we thought we 

 could make an exhibit in the State Building. We 

 thought then that if we got ten thousand dollars we 

 could make a first-class exhibit of the dairy products 

 of this State. 



We haven't got the money nor the room to expend any
