Directors' Meeting and 

 Report of Officers 



SESSION HELD IN SPRINGFIELD. 



Directors of the Association held two meetings' since the appearance 

 of the 1901 report 



The first was during the State Fair at Springfield in 1902. and the sec- 

 ond at Rockford, 111., during the meeting there of the State Farmers' In- 

 stitute. One day, Feb. 19, of the Institute's convention was dairy day, 

 and was conducted by the State Dairy Association's officers, the pro- 

 gram being furnished by the Association. 



At the Springfield meeting the chief object was to confer with other 

 agricultural organizations of the state with a view of having the agri- 

 cultural interests of our state properly represented at the Louisiana 

 Purchase Exposition to be held in St. Louis, Mo. As a result of the 

 meeting a committee, made up of members from the different associa- 

 tions, was appointed to take the matter in charge. Joseph Newman of 

 Elgin, president of the Ilinois State Dairymen's Association, is the mem- 

 ber from this Association on that committee. 



At a meeting held in the St. Nicholas Hotel of directors of our Asso- 

 ciation, E. Sudendorf of Elgin, was indorsed as the best man to have 

 charge of the dairy department of the St Louis Exposition. 



It was also decided to let the officers of the Association try the effect 

 of subordinate dairy meetings to be held before the next state dairy con- 

 vention. 



The discussion at this meeting was largely on dairy display at St..
