SPECIAL DAIRY MEETING MAY 5 AND 6, 1916, IN 



WASHINGTON, D. C, CALLED BY SECRETARY 



OF NATIONAL DAIRY UNION. 



(Report by Representative of Illinois State Dairymen's Asso- 

 ciation. ) 



Illinois State Dairymen's Association : 



Permit me to submit herewith report of my trip to Cin- 

 cinnati, Washington and New York City, where, as per your 

 instructions, I represented the Illinois State Dairymen's Asso- 

 ciation on matters up for discussion at these three places. 



Arrived at Cincinnati Wednesday, May 3, and attended the 

 meeting of the Ohio State Creamerymen's Association, with J.. 

 B. Newman, a director of our Association and Assistant State 

 Food Commissioner. Mr. Newman was on the program to ad- 

 dress them on the work of the State Dairymen's Association on 

 matters of creamery sanitation and the correction of oleomar-. 

 garine abuses. They were very much interested in the attitude 

 of the Illinois State Dairymen's Association regarding pasteur- 

 ization of dairy products ,and the co-operation between the 

 State Dairymen's Association, creamerymen, and the Food and^ 

 Dairy department. They were very much surprised and pleased 

 at the progressive stand taken by our Dairymen's Association. 

 They were also very much interested in our efforts for cream 

 grading. In fact they were so much interested they asked if Mr^ 

 Newman would not meet with them again and give them another 

 talk, which he promised to do. We found that the work of tho 

 Association had spread beyond the borders of our state very 

 much to the credit of the Association. 



We left Cincinnati Wednesday afternoon , arriving in 

 Washington Thursday morning, in company with Hon. W. B. 

 Barney, Dairy and Food Commissioner of Iowa and President 

 of the American Association of Dair}^, Food and Drug Officials^
