14 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION 



missioner, arranged for meetings in Southern Illinois to try and 

 get the business men and bankers interested in this movement, 

 and I never saw such enthusiastic meetings, bankers and business 

 men offering financial assistance. I don't know of any man who 

 has done as good work and has been of greater service than Mr. 

 Matthews has. The bankers are willing to take hold and that 

 is why we are' down here to try and push this matter along. Take 

 hold of this convention and ask questions and bring out any- 

 thing you can and get all the information you can out of it and 

 ieel free to do it. I don't wan t to take up any further time — 

 but will announce the first speaker.
