ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 21/ 



I ask the Secretary to cast the ballot. 



The ballot is cast and you have elected your officers for the 

 ensuing year — the names of the people who have been read. 



Mr. Newman : — I suppose I should make a congratulatory 

 speech, but I don't feel like it. Of course I shall try to do my

 grade. When we lost our friend. Erf, I felt that it was a serious 

 loss and made no bones in making it known. If you want a man 

 in the chair who won't do these things, you will have to elect some 

 one else to this chair besides Joseph Newman.

 in very much the same way. There are some differences in regard 

 to local conditions which we have to take into account. 



In some sections I think the silo is all right. The silo is
