ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 71 



Eeport of committee on obituary received and adopted. 



KEPORT OF SECRETARY. 



Mr. Chairman^ Gentlemen^ Members of the Association: Your becretary 

 begs leave to offer a verbal report for the reason that he does not consider it 

 within his province to report to this Association the amount of money re- 

 ceived, or the amount expended, or for what purpose, as that svill come in 

 the Treasurer's report. I simply desire to state that upon the adjournment 

 of the Association a year ago, as soon as practicable the Secretary issued and 

 mailed to the members of the Association a copy of this pamphlet, being a 

 report of the proceedings of the tenth annual meeting. In addition to mail- 

 ing a copy to each one of the members, a copy was mailed to each and every 

 member of the State Legislature, to every member of the State Board of 

 Agriculture, and to various newspapers and prominent people throughout 

 the State who were not directly engaged in dairying. In fact, the Secretary 

 intended so far as was in his power to distribute these books where they 

 might do the most good. The book will speak for itself. During the year 

 your Spcretary has attended several meetings of the Board of Directors, 

 transacting business connected with the zVssociation ; has assisted in mak- 

 ing up a program for this meeting, and has attended as a matter of course, 

 so far as he was able, to the duties appertaining to his office ; perhaps not as 

 eflSciently as he might have done, or as efficiently as could be done by others, 

 yet with a view of promoting the interest which is represented by this Asso- 

 ciation. He has in a measure endeavored to do that which wou^d be for the 

 best good to the greatest number of dairymen. Such is the report which I 

 have to render. Respectfully submitted. Report adopted.
