THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION. 345 



DIRECTORS' MEETING. 



Directors of Illinois State Dairymen's Association met in 

 Rockford during the State Farmers' Institute last February. All 

 the directors were present and the policy and plans of the Asso- 

 ciation for the year were discussed. The directors approved the 

 plan of holding auxiliary meetings in different sections of the 

 state and each director was asked to interest himself in finding 

 where such meeting could be profitably held. 



By unanimous vote of the directors Charles Foss of Cedar- 

 ville was elected treasurer of the Association, his term of office 

 to begin July 1, 1909, when the next appropriation from the state 

 to the Association becomes available. 



By the same vote George Caven, Chicago, was re-elected 

 secretary. 



Secretary Caven read a report of his receipts and expenses 

 and the same was accepted and a committee of three members 

 was appointed to audit and approve both the secretary's and 

 treasurer's reports for the year. This committee consisted of 

 the president, L. N. Wiggins of Springfield; E. Sudendorf of 

 Clinton, and Charles Gilkerson of Marengo. 



President Wiggins announced that he had selected the fol- 

 lowing to act as University of Illinois advisory committee from 

 the Association : L. N. Wiggins, Springfield ; J. P. Mason, 

 Elgin; Joseph Newman, Elgin; M. S. Campbell, Genoa; Louis 

 Latzer, Highland. 



Invitations from Vandalia and Elgin as places for the next 

 annual convention were read and the decision was put off until 

 the meeting at the state fair in October. However, as no annual 

 convention had been held in the southern part of the state for 

 several years, the sentiment as expressed by the directors favored 

 Vandalia for the 1910 meeting.
