THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION 17 



College, the advocating of test associations to weed out the 

 unprofitable cows and the encouraging of better work in the 

 creameries, and greater care of the cream delivered from the 

 farm; as there is an erroneous waste from the sale of butter 

 not up to standard due largely to this course. 



We also co-operate with our Pure Food Commissioners, 

 and fully appreciate the value of the work they are extending 

 throughout the State, and we all realize the importance of more 

 sanitary conditions of food and dairy products. 



The officers and directors in general have lent their best 

 endeavor to promote the dairy interest throughout the State, 

 holding several one-day meetings in different sections to very 

 appreciative audiences. 



In making up the program for this meeting, the speakers 

 selected are authorities on the subjects on which they will speak, 

 and we want each one here to feel at liberty to ask any ques- 

 tions at any time, as we want these topics thoroughly discussed 

 and made clear to each one present. 



I will now appoint the following committees :
