FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONVENTION 127 



And good old Prof. Eraser from the University school 

 When he first talked this stuff they thought him a fool 

 With vision and foresight he broadcast his seed 

 And now comes the harvest which the whole nation needs. 



We've had lots of help from the University boys 

 As they have toiled for the welfare of old Illinois, 

 Ruehe and Prucha, Dusty, Mason and Yapp, 

 Eraser, Gaines and Neven, all mighty fine chaps. 



He looked at her head he twisted her tail 

 He knew at a glance what she'd do at the pail 

 And there at her side on his knees as he knelt 

 I looked under his hat and saw Hughie Van Pelt. 



They wandered down in the meadow together, His arm was 



round her neck 

 He didn't know what the other fellow would do. He didn't 



care by heck! 

 He didn't know what his wife would say, In fact he didn't care. 

 She was a Jersey heifer — He was Daddy O'Hair! 



And while we're mentionin' all the things that's been done 

 We'll have to give credit to our host, Louie Nielson. 

 One of the reasons you find us all here 

 Is cause there's been some work done by the old Pioneer. 



Out in the foreground like a big ocean liner 

 Stands the big superintendent, our own Col. Miner. 

 He raises the devil with the boys testing cream 

 If they don't do it right they'll find it's no dream. 



There was a jovial Sudy whose success was first made 

 In making good butter and buildin' up trade 

 He moved to the orange country and now **of late" 

 He's the prince of those barons doin' real estate. 



We've had the support of the boys in the State 

 Those fellows have been working both early and late. 

 Our friend S. J. Stanard whose boss in Len Small 

 Turns the key to state and says, "Boys, take it all." 



And then there's a lot of these creamery boys 



Who've been doing their bit to help Illinois 



There's Louis from Galesburg and John from Peoria 



As they've watched this thing grow, they've helped it begorra! 



With Herman from Danville and from Champaign came Fred 

 With all of this push we'll sure get ahead. 

 As they've worked with each other on this dairy cow scheme 

 They've been teachin' the farmers how to market their cream.
