FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION 261 



We must concede that much advantage is to be gained 

 through having the Chief Executive of our State at this meet- 

 ing, for he is himself an ardent dairyman, who has done much 

 to promote the industry, and I am sure that we can be inspired 

 to greater deeds and thoughts by his presence. 



In conclusion, we can say that the advantages to be gained 

 are: First, 'Sve have been brought to a higher standard of 

 efficiency;" second, ''the cultivation of the spirit of co-opera- 

 tion between the producer and manufacturer;" third, ''improve- 

 ment in quality of the finished product;" fourth, "a more eco- 

 nomic production;" and last but not least, the germ of enthu- 

 siasm has been placed upon a firmer basis. And as we leave for 

 our various homes, our minds are full of new ideas and better 

 plans for the coming year.
