President: We will hear from Judge Lynch now. 



Judge Lynch: We first wish to recognize and here give 

 testimony to the fact that this, the Thirty-Seventh Annual Con- 

 vention of the Illinois State Dairyman's Association, is the 

 greatest in the history of the Association. 



The meeting has been gratifying in every particular, in at- 

 tendance, in interest manifested, in the program and discussions 

 and in all the practical demonstration work arranged in the 

 different lines of the industries. 



The success of the Convention is due to united effort on 

 the part of citizens of Elgin, and officers of the Association, and 

 the officers and members of the Association wish here to ex- 

 press this gratitude. 



We wish to thank the Mayor, the Elgin Commercial Club 

 and citizens for their work and interest in the affairs of the As- 

 sociation. We wish to thank the Elks Club for their entertain- 

 ment of members, and many courtesies extended to the officers 

 of the Association who freely used the club rooms for committee 

 meetings. 



We thank dairymen who, with their exhibits of splendid 

 specimens of dairy breeds, added much to the success of the 

 meeting. These exhibitors are : E. W. Wing and J. L. Mason 

 of Elgin, James Dorsey of Gilberts, T. E. Getzelman of Hamp- 

 shire, Robert E. Haeger of Algonquin, and Frank Hopp of

We wish to especially thank Dr. W. W. Welch of Elgin 

 who arranged the cattle exhibit at the Convention and partici- 

 pated in arrangements for the tuberculosis demonstration. Also 

 the Kerber Packing Company where the demonstration took 

 place, and complete and satisfactory arrangements and for cour- 

 tesies extended to all present at the demonstration.

 us in the tuberculosis demonstration and explaining its results.
