ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 185 



Mr. Soverhill: Mr. Linn, what success have you had in get- 

 ting funds from the different creameries through the state to aid 

 you in enforcing the laws.^ 



Mr. Linn: Our success has not been very flattering. I was 

 instructed to send out to every creamery in the state which I 

 did. We had a lot of circulars printed and we sent them out. 

 Some responded very nicely, but I didn't get back as much 

 money as I expended in trying to get it. During the session of 

 legislature, when we asked the creameries for five dollars apiece, 

 they responded pretty well and that money was used in sending 

 literature throughout the state to let the peoole know what we 

 wanted them to do, which was to bring their pressure to bear 

 upon their senators and representatives. Then we tried to get 

 something from the patrons of the creameries and there it 

 seemed to s op. 



Mr. Soverhill: I find a good deal of difference in different 

 locations; some have been very willing to respond. 



The Chairman: I think that the trouble lies largely with 

 creamery men in not giving that matter their attention. I 

 believe that if they would push it properly, we could collect from 

 twenty-five per cent, anyway of our patrons. 



Mr. Welford: I had a little something to do in raising sub- 

 scriptions and also in keeping our representative in line with us. 

 He made some promises before he was elected and we held him 

 to his promises, and he staid by us in good shape. 



Adjourned to 1:30 p. m., same day.
