bia. DR.. R. Fl. Jesse, president of the
state university, delivered the address
of welcome. After delivering pleasant
words of greeting, he assured the asso-
citation of the sympathy that the uni
versity had for every industry of the
state. He thought the times demanded
$780, 900 building on the university
campus, equipped for practical dairy
instruction Such schools were in sue
cessfu1 operation in other states, and
should be in Missouri. He congratu-
lated the association and the taxpayers
of Missouri upon the fact that the uni
versity, with all its departments-agri-
cultural, medical and law, upon one
campus, in one intellectual, federal
whole-was prepared and permitted to
teach all practical industries.

made response. He commended the
proposed dairy school, and urged that
the association lend it's influence to Sc
curing it. He spoke of the good the
association has done in having secured

dairy instruction would add to the
value of butter by teaching how to
make purer and better article. Mis-

mand of it's own citizens for butter

sands of dollars abroad for these
products. This should not be true, as
no state had greater resources.
