FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION 185 



That, I think, is enough of an introduction of the men who 

 will really tell you how to run a dairy farm and do it profitably. 

 I want to say at this time that the State Dairymen's Association 

 is holding a lot of these one-day meetings in different parts of 

 the state, and the main convention of the year is to be held at 

 Danville, January 30, 31, and February i. We expect to have 

 a big display of dairy cattle there and a good three-days' pro- 

 gram, a number of interesting contests, instruction on how to 

 judge dsiiry cattle, etc., and I am sure that any of you who 

 can attend that convention will be well repaid for so doing. I 

 thank you very much.'* 



Chairman : "We will next hear from Mr. J. P. Mason of 

 Elgin, President of the Illinois State Dairymen's Association, 

 who will talk to you upon the subject of 'Dairying in Illinois.' 

 Mr. Mason—"
