THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION 41 



Effingham County Dairy Association is going to give tomor- 

 row night. This banquet given by the Effingham Dairymen is 

 a complimentary banquet to all visitors outside of Effingham 

 County. It is quite a thing to do and show the good will of 

 the dairymen. They do not want any one to be overlooked, yet 

 it will be a difficult matter to get hold of everybody. Mr. 

 Epsell, the Chairman, is in the Armory. No man outside of 

 Effingham County should be backward about making himself 

 known to Mr. Epsell. 



The program this evening will be in the Opera House and 

 it will be largely an entertainment, songs, recitations and every 

 kind of music and a short stereopticon lecture. I am sure that 

 every one will be entertained and we hope there will be a good 

 attendance. 



The program tomorrow we think will be especially interest- 

 ing. In the forenoon Mr. Shilling will talk in this room and 

 Mr. VanPelt will have the remainder of the afternoon for his 

 cow demonstration in the Armory. The morning program will 

 also be interesting, and while our attendance has been excel- 

 lent today and probably better than we have any reason to ex- 

 pect on account of the weather, I hope every one will use his 

 influence for bringing others that are here into this meeting. 



President : This evening we have the Holstein Association 

 Banquet, and I hope you will all be there. 



Mr. Newman : There was a question raised here this aft- 

 ernoon which is very important, that is regarding the solids in 

 evaporated milk. On the Pacific coast they are no longer pay- 

 ing the increase for 4 to 6 per cent butter fat ; they are encour- 

 aging getting the butter fat down to 3 per cent ; they cut down 

 the solids in evaporated milk. 



President: If there is anything you want discussed this 

 is a good time to do it. 



Mr. Jones : Did I understand Mr. Jorgenson to say that 

 the milk solids in milk that test below 4 per cent was a larger
