318 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Mason talked on "Successful Dairying" from the standpoint of 

 a successful dairyman. He told his own experience and prac- 

 tices as carried on at his own farm and the results. His ad- 

 dress consisted largely of answers to questions about feeding, 

 selecting cows, etc., which were asked by the dairymen present. 



The Washington meeting was arranged by Joseph Morris 

 of that place and the Highland meeting by Adolph Meyer of 

 Highland and Greenville. 



The meetings were encouraging, but coming as they did 

 just when farmers could get into the fields to plant oats, the 

 attendance was not as large as it otherwise would have been. 



The last of the series of auxiliary meetings was held at 

 Camp Point June 13th, and took the form of a Dairy and 

 Creamery picnic. Arrangements were made by Louis Nielson, 

 bnttermaker at the Creamery there, and speakers on the pro- 

 gram for the State Association were : President L. N. Wiggins, 

 Prof. Carl E. Lee and Prof. C. C. Hayden. 



Meetings of Directors. 



Directors and other officers of the Association met at the 

 1907 State Fair, where the Association maintained headquart- 

 ers. At a business meeting in the dairy ient it was decided to 

 let the matter of locating the meeting to a committee consisting 

 of President L. N. Wiggins, Secretary Geo. Caven and Di- 

 rector M. S. Campbell. The affairs of the association were 

 discussed and the plan of operating a dairy train, if proper 

 arrangements could be made with the railroads was approved 

 and the Secretary was instructed to correspond with railroad 

 officials in regard to the matter. The plan of having a head- 

 quarters at the State Fair was approved and the belief was 

 expressed that after a few efforts in that direction, the dairy 

 interests at the fair could be brought to a central point and 

 increase the dairy feature of the fair. 



The regular annual business meeting of the directors held 

 in connection with the State Farmers' Institute meeting was 

 held in Peoria during the Institute Convention. Vice President
