THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION 113 



sideration. If it is possible for you to send your milk off, do 

 it, but if the time comes when your factory at home wants your 

 milk, give it to them; keep your factory running. It looks now 

 as though it was the big fish trying to eat up the small fish. This 

 law of supply and demand in the butter and condensery business 

 is just the same as in the oats and wheat. Do not say hard 

 things about your factories. If their business will not allow 

 them to pay you more than $1.50 a hundred, take it kindly and 

 consider it before you do radical things. 



Mr. Jorgenson : I feel from what Mr. Newman says that 

 he thought I was saying that the butter board at Elgin were 

 boosting the price to cheat the farmers. I did not mean to 

 speak in that way but I do feel if there is a more uniform pro- 

 duction there is much less chance for the middle man to get a big 

 slice. Now the fact that so much butter is put in cold storage 

 shows that the most butter is produced in summer. 



President : This has been a very interesting discussion. 

 It has brought out one thing, what we need in this State is a com- 

 paign of education and that is the object of this Association. 



Dr. Peters is with us and will talk this afternoon upon the 

 "Health of the Dairy Animals" and Mr. Barnes of Chicago will 

 talk on "Legislation for the Farmer." They will be most inter- 

 esting and instructive. 



Secretary: Mr. Newman is still here and if any want 

 to take the examination for the Tester's License he will meet 

 them here. 



Member : Will it be possible for the meeting to be called 

 promptly this afternoon for there are a great many of us who 

 want to get away early. 



President. We will begin our meeting promptly on time 

 this afternoon. We will now stand adjourned until 1 130 this 

 afternoon.
