244 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



DIRECTORS' MEETING. 



The first meeting of the Directors was held in February at 

 the State Farmers' Institute roundup in Centralia. 



At this meeting E. Sudendorf and Joseph Newman were 

 appointed to audit the accounts of the Treasurer and Secretary. 



Chas. Foss of Cedarville was re-elected Treasurer and Geo, 

 Caven of Chicago Secretary. 



The printing and distributing of the annual report was left 

 to the Secretary with power to act. 



Springfield was named as first choice for the next annual 

 convention, and the locating of auxiliary conventions was left to 

 the President and Secretary.. 



Directors held their second meeting of the year at Cham- 

 paign, July 5, where plans for the year's work were discussed. 

 At this meeting F. G. Austin of Effingham was elected a direc- 

 tor to succeed A. F. Jansen of Effingham, who resigned. Mr. 

 Jansen's letter of resignation is as follows : 



To the Hon. Board of Directors, 



Illinois State Dairymen's Assn. 

 I respectfully herewith submit my resignation as Member 

 of the Board of Directors, Illinois State Dairymen's Associa- 

 tion, in favor of Mr. Frank G. Austin, for reasons efiven at the 

 Elgin Convention. 



Respectfully, 



A. F. Jansen. 



Mr. Jansen had been a member of the board six years or 

 more and was one of its most active officials, giving freely of 

 his time to advance dairying in the State. He found he could 

 not accept longer the responsibility of the position, his own in- 

 terests requiring more attention than he had been able to give 

 them. He was just starting his Dutch Belt herd and felt he could 

 not spare the time a director should give to the Association.
