90 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



form of bovine tuberculosis, and whereas the gigantic task 

 of eradicating this disease from the dairy herds of Illinois 

 is progressing as satisfactorily as conditions permit, there- 

 fore be it resolved that this association fully endorse the 

 methods now^ employed for the eradication of bovine tuber- 

 culosis, and further, that we urge all owners of dairy and 

 breeding cattle within the state to cooperate to the fullest 

 extent with the State Department of Agriculture, to the end 

 that this infection may be speedily removed from the herds 

 of Illinois. 



And, whereas the State of Illinois is at this time threat- 

 ened with an impending invasion of an insect pest, the Eu- 

 ropean corn borer, and, as has been experienced in states 

 wherein this pest has wrought much damage, regulatory 

 measures, promulgated and enforced by the chief executive 

 and the State Department of Agriculture, will become nec- 

 essary in order to reduce as much as possible, the loss this 

 pest may cause, therefore be it resolved that this association 

 voice the confidence of its membership in the ability of the 

 state administration and in the Illinois, and the Federal De- 

 partments of Agriculture, to render the strongest protection 

 that is possible, against the inroads of this destructive in- 

 sect, and in the University of Illinois, from which, through 

 exhaustive, scientific research, will evolve invaluable con- 

 tributions to the fund of knowledge, so essential to a suc- 

 cessful warfare against this foe. 



And, be it further resolved that this association urge 

 the farmers and the citizens of Illinois as a whole, to co- 

 operate to the fullest extent with the efforts that these 

 agencies may deem best in order to unitedly combat this 

 enemy to corn production. 



And be it further resolved that, with this assurance, 

 any tendency to develop within the state any panicy inclina- 

 tion to desert agriculture in its hour of need be summarily 

 suppressed. 



In further recognition of the many agencies and indi- 

 viduals who have, in various ways, contributed to the suc- 

 cess of this organization, and have assisted in making this 

 convention a success, be it resolved that copies of these 

 resolutions, as adopted by this association, be spread upon
