158 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Election of Officers. 



President: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have tomorrow a 

 very full program, and yesterday morning we were disappointed 

 in not hearing Professor Fraser, so I know you are not too 

 tired this afternoon to hear him talk to you. 



I am afraid with the other speakers tomorrow afternoon 

 and the demonstration in the morning we might not be able to 

 get his address in. As this is an illustrated lecture it will be very 

 interesting to you. 



I would like to ask if the Chairman of the Nominating 

 Committee is ready with his report. Mr. Newman, will you take 

 the chair. 



Mr. Newman : Mr. Schuknecht, this matter is brought up 

 at this time on account of the long program that we have for 

 tomorrow. 



Mr. Schuknecht : Ladies and Gentlemen of the Conven- 

 tion — I have had the pleasure of attending the meetings of the 

 Illinois Dairyman's Association for the last few years and have 

 been particularly interested in the good crowds and the enthusi- 

 asm shown by the dairymen of this section, and I think the meet- 

 ing here is distinctly a credit to the dairymen of Elgin and 

 vicinity as well as to the State of Illinois. It is a tribute to the 

 officers and committee who have been in charge of the Associa- 

 tion and who have worked so hard for its success. 



In choosing the names of men for the officers of the Asso- 

 ciation for the ensuing year, the success of this meeting must 

 be considered and your Committee has endeavored to select the 

 men so as to insure the continuance of the efficient work that 

 has been done the last few years.
