THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION. 319 



J. P. Mason presided and Directors M. S. Campbell, Carl E. 

 Lee, J. F. Sanmann, A. F. Jansen, Treasurer Adolph Meyer 

 and Secretary Geo. Caven were present. Louis Nielson and 

 Geo. Caven represented the buttermakers' association and the 

 first question to be considered was the uniting of the State 

 Dairymen's Association and Illinois State Buttermakers' Asso- 

 ciation. After a thorough discussion of the subject, the fol- 

 lowing resolution was presented and accepted : 



Resolved, That the Illinois State Dairymen's Association 

 and the Illinois State Buttermakers' Association do unite under 

 the name Illinois State Dairymen's Association. That the Illi- 

 nois State Buttermakers' Association be given a buttermaker or 

 a representative of the buttermakers on the board of directors 

 of Illinois State Dairymen's Association and that the programs 

 at annual meeting be prepared so as to give the buttermakers 

 due recognition. 



This resolution was accepted. During the discussion the 

 matter of changing the name of Illinois State Dairymen's Asso- 

 ciation to include the word, "Buttermakers," was discussed and 

 various objections were raised, one being that a change of name 

 might complicate matters in connection with the annual appro- 

 priation from the state which is made to Illinois State Dairy- 

 men's Association. 



The general and in fact unanimous opinion of all at the 

 meeting was that there should be only one association in the state 

 and that there should be no friction between the dairymen and 

 buttermakers ; that the association can represent the whole interest 

 in Illinois and give each division proper recognition. 



Two representatives of the business men's association of 

 Peoria appeared before the directors and urged Peoria as the 

 meeting place for the next convention of Illinois State Dairy- 

 men's Association. 



The matter of locating the next meeting place was placed 

 in the hands of the Secretary to investigate the various locations 

 offered and report at the meeting to be held in Springfield during 

 the State Fair.
