THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION 101 



DAIRY AND CREAMERY CONDITIONS IN ILLINOIS. 



Mr. Fred Jorgenson, University of Illinois. 



President : We will listen to a talk on dairy and creamery 

 conditions in Illinois by Mr. Fred Jorgenson of the University 

 of Illinois. 



Mr. Jorgenson : I understand you want me more to get up 

 a discussion on these problems than to make a speech. Before I 

 say any more if an}- of you have questions to ask I want you 

 to ask them. I believe more can be gotten out of a discussion 

 than from what a speaker says. You have heard a number of 

 men speak, and they have all made some good points. There 

 might be some particular things that are troubling you at home 

 and if you have not gotten satisfactory answers don't be afraid 

 to ask questions and I will answer them if I can. 



The subject assigned me is: "Dairy and Creamery Condi- 

 tions as Found in the State." There are a whole lot of things to be 

 considered when you think of the creamery conditions of Illi- 

 nois. In his opening remarks your President said there are three 

 things to be considered in order to make dairying a success, feed- 

 ing, breeding and care of the dairy cow. This is true but he 

 overlooked one little point. That word care should be extended 

 to cover the sanitary conditions of milk as well as the care of the 

 animal. 



Inasmuch as he is one of the leading dairymen, his remark 

 serves as a good illustration to put before you. Dairymen look 

 at those three things only and by far the majority overlook the 

 addition to this word ''care." It is just as important to deliver to 

 the consumer an article that mows care as it is to give the cow 

 good care. Perhaps I realize this better than most of you 

 pie who are present do as I have had a better chance to find out 

 what is means during the past four or live years in my - 

 among the creameries of this State.
