I96 ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Dairy Manufacturing Division receive due appropriation to carry on 

 experimental work in that line, and also to provide for appropriate field 

 work among the creamerymen, milkmen and cheesemakers, for a period of 

 at least thirty days per year. 



Resolved, That we renew our allegiance to the National Dairy Union, 

 and take a new resolve to aid the organization in every way we can. 

 Since our previous convention at Freeport, the new oleomargarine law 

 was passed, it becoming effective July 1, has been long enough in opera- 

 tion to show the benefit of driving the fradulent selling of oleomargarine 

 out of the market that rightfully belongs to pure dairy products. We 

 want to see the fight against the fraud continued until no one who wants 

 butter will be deceived by having oleomargarine palmed off on him as 

 that article. For this victory we thank Ex-Gov. W. D. Hoard, president, 

 and C. Y. Knight, secretary of the National Dairy Union. We thank also 

 the other workers and hope there will be no weakening anywhere of dairy 

 strength in this contest for justice to the great dairy industry. We ap- 

 peal to the creamerymen of the State to make the pledge of support the 

 National Dairy Union is asking, and to all dairymen and others interested 

 in dairying to aid in this fight as the leaders may request, for they will ask 

 for nothing but that which is necessary and right. 



Resolved, That we again endorse E. Sudendorf, of Clinton, Illinois, 

 to have charge of the Dairy Department at the Louisiana Purchase Expo- 

 sition in St. Louis next year. Mr. Sudendorf's wide acquaintance among 

 creamerymen and dairymen of the country, all of whom are his friends 

 and know his ability; his years of experience in getting together the dis- 

 plays and directing the business of the National Creamery Buttermakers' 

 Association; his ability to make and keep friends; his honesty and fair- 

 ness make him the ideal superintendent of a great department that will 

 justly represent the immensity of the dairy industry of this country. We 

 who know Mr. Sudendorf know that he can get together a satisfactory 

 display, and one of which the dairy interests will be proud. We believe 

 there is no other man in this country so well fitted to have charge of the 

 Dairy Department. 



Resolved, That we express thanks to W. D. Collyer, of Chicago, in- 

 spector of dairy products under the Department of Agriculture, for his 

 services in scoring the butter and cheese entered at this convention.
