FIFTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION 17 



Gentlemen this is your convention, use it. Get all the 

 good out of it you can. Be free to ask questions of any of 

 the speakers. I am sure they will be glad to answer them. 

 Let us make this one of the best conventions ever held in 

 southern Illinois or anywhere else for that matter. 



Again I thank you for the cordial welcome which you 

 have just extended to us. 



Prof. C. H. Rhode of University of Illinois took charge

 cattle. Prof. Rhode first gave a lecture on cattle judging, 

 pointing out from cattle taken from the exhibit the points 

 that distinguish a dairy animal. Most of the individuals
