in Agricultural Hall of the o. A.
c., on Tuesday, Dec. 18th, at
p. m. The afternoon was de-
voted principally to the business
of the organization. The ad-
dress of welcome by the mayor
of Corvallis, and the response by
the president was deferred till the
evening session.
DR.. James Withycombe gave a
very interesting lecture on the
Economy of Soiling'' that was
listened to with much interest.
Geo. D. Goodhue, of Salem,
presented "Peints on Hand
Separator Cream"
Much important business was
transacted, and the meeting ad-
journed to meet in the Chapel in
the evening.
Tuesday evening, at the COL
lege chapel, the meeting opened
with beautiful song by the Male
Quartette, followed by rollick-
ing encore. Then Mayor Irvine
was introduced, with an address
of welcome that was we'll recelv-
ed and heartily appreciated.
The subject was "The Man Of
the soil"-so we'll handled and
so seductively presented that
every person i'll the audience
wished themselves farmers.
Pres. Schulmerich, of Farm
ington, in response, presented his
annual address, quoting facts rela-
tive to the dairying industry, and
making suggestions regarding the
proper legislation necessary to
better success in the business.
The dairymen are much inter
ested in the passage at the special
session over the Governors veto
of the pure food bill of the late
legislative session, and it is likely
that a legislative committee will
be appointed to labor with that
end in view. A deputy to the
State Dairy and food Commis-
sioner is wanted by them to carry
on the work with reference to
Improvement of dairy methods
by instruction and suggestions he
mey be able to give.
H. E. Lounsbury, of the
Pacific Co.. of Portland, !
gave some very interesting facts
dairying in the Will
annette Valley five years ago,
and at the present time, and the
evolution in the agricultural in
lustry that had been effected.
He instanced the two condensing
plants in Washington county and
he many small creameries that
1ad sprung up all through the
and Rogue river val
eys. His remarks were very in
and contained much
valuable information. .
Miss Mabel Cronise followed
n an exquisitely rendered vocal
;olo.
w. H. Chaplin, of Portland,
who considers himself a butter
nan, though he neither makes it
or eats it, but simply sells it,
gave rambling talk on the COM
nercial side of the business.
Chaplin has been attending the
meetings since the society was
organized, but it was not till last
year that he understood why a
ed cow could give white milk.
He gave some good advice to the
members about selling butter.
1t was brought out in the paper
IF Mr.. Chaplin that ten car loads
IF butter. from the East have re-
>ently been brought into Oregon
ind that IS car loads from the
;ame source have arrived in Sc
title.
Guy E. Moore gave a reading
rom Mark Twain, that was well
'eceived.
The Quartette favored the
audience with another song, and
IN encore for good measure.
AS a fitting finale to a we'll
pent evening Professor Knisely
entertained the company with
eries of chemical experiments,
With oxygen, hydrogen and car
'onic acid gases, explaining
heir properties, and their rela-
ion to the business of the mem
,ers of the Association. They
proved very entertaining as well
IS instructive.
