50 ILLINOIS PTATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



by our regular men are sanctioned and indemnity is paid on 

 reactors found, providing they have been the property of 

 the owner for six months before. In no case will the gov- 

 ernment pay an indemnity of over $50 on a pure-bred and 

 $25 on a grade. The number of cows does not matter. 



While I know that in some of these Southern counties 

 your cow population is limited, I would suggest that two 

 counties get together and take over this work. Some north- 

 ern counties are using two men. 



Have that commission from the State Department and 

 have authority under the State Department to test cattle 

 for interstate shipment. 



Question: How would we go about having our herd 

 tested? 



Dr. Lintner: Get about ten or twenty of you together 

 and I will send a man to take care of you. We have got to 

 cut down the cost of testing. In the last year the cost of 

 testing has been cut from eighty cents to twenty-nine cents 

 a head by grouping our work. 



You write me a letter. I am sending a man down to 

 Harrisburg and in the course of two weeks, if you can get 

 this thing lined up, I will send a man to take care of you. 



I am going to conclude. I am your humble servant. I 

 want you to know that we are out here trying to serve your 

 interests. If there is anything not right at any time or any 

 information that you want, you write me and I will only be 

 too glad to do it. 



I want to thank you for your kind attention. We all 

 profit by the ideas of others and I hope in a meeting of this 

 kind that we can have a better understanding of each 

 other's activities and at the same time put in practice some 

 of the things we have heard. (Applause) . 



Mr. O'Hair: I do not know how we could hold a con- 

 vention without Professor Fraser. I venture to say if you 

 fellows will listen and take home what he says to you, it 

 will be worth thousands of dollars to you if you remember 

 it and put it in practice. I will now introduce Professor 

 Fraser.
