ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 195 



Outline for a bill to secure adequate dairy inspection and for other 

 purposes. 



] The present Pure Food Commissioners' law to be repealed. 



2. A commission be formed to consist of seven members to serve 

 without compensation, except necessary expenses; one to be selected by 

 each of the following organizations: State Dairymen's Association, State 

 Live Stock Breeders' Association, State Horticultural Society, State 

 Grocers' Association; two members to be apointed by the Governor, one 

 from each of the two leading political parties of the State, and the State 

 Veterinarian. Said commission to select some competent person not a 

 member of the commission, with a salary of $2500 per year, as an execu-

 service under the supervision of the Board of Pure Food Commissioners.

 of two to confer with the other allied agricultural organizations named 

 in House Bill No. 315 for the purpose of preparing a new bill to be pre- 

 sented to the present legislature, and using all influence in securing an 

 appropriation in accordance with the provisions of said bill.

 here, of the Agricultural College. It is providing in agriculture the prac-

 learn that the student can come here for any length of time he may elect, 

 and stay as long as his circumstances may permit and study what he may 

 think will most benefit him. We hope to see this policy extended. In 

 the Dairy Department we hope for further work in lines now followed and
