We also tender our congratulations
to Commissioner e. A. Mcdonald on
his appointment to the position of u.

him the support and cooperation OF
the dairymen of the state in the en-

which is certainly a high tribute to
his qualifications and fitness for the
duties.

Some of the Papers Read

Presidents Annual Address.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Dairy
men:
1t is to be regretted that the status
of the dairy industry of our state is
not what the natural conditions would
warrant. This statement, l believe,
will not be contradicted. So long as
such is the case our organization need
not look far to find plenty to do. 1t
is true that during the last few years
much of great value to our industry
and the state has been accomplished.
But we must not overlook the fact
that our achievements are largely the
results of confidence and the sympa-
thetic interest of the public, and the
fact that efficiency and honesty have
characterized the work OF those who
have had charge Of the execution and
enforcement of the laws enacted for
the protection of our interests against
fraud and deceit. Our demands have
generally been recognized and grant
ed. In consideration of all of which
we have tacitly obligated ourselves to
provide and place before the consum-
ing public dairy products ample in
quantity and unsurpassed in quality.
Every effort, every invention, every
enterprise, every person, as we'll as,
every association of persons must, be-
fore being generally accepted by the
public, submit to what is understood
to be the crucial test, with reference
to the objects and purposes OF its
or their existence. Prior to the con-
clusion of such test confidence is with
held and ultimate success becomes
impossible. This is, the time and
place for us as members of this organ
ization, to critically investigate our
selves and conditions that confront
us.
We will allude to some of the ex-
listing conditions, generally, accepted
as such, that apply to'sthee dairy In
dustry in this state. We haveFa eli
mate and soil unsurpassed. The farms
in. nearly every section of the state
can produce such crops as go to make
up the desired balanced ration for
the dairy cow. We have one of the
best home markets in the world. Our
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-01-15


would warrant. We have college
with an able and efficient faculty,
giving special attention along the
lines of disseminating the required
knowledge, and giving general and
specific instruction, applicable to
dairy farming We have dairy law
of our own selection, which is being
satisfactorily enforced by the proper
officials. We also have the indispensi-
BILE dairy COW.
Our needs then are, indeed, well
supplied. What then are we giving
in return for all of these favors of ma
ture and the people? Our best inter
ests as dairymen and citizens of this
promising state demand honesty along
the entire line. To be honest with
ourselves means that we shall be hon
est with the public.
Dairying is the chief cornerstone
to successful agriculture. Our fullest
and most perfect development rests
more largely with our dairymen, stock
men, and agriculturists in general
than with any other element of our
population. There is wonderful
work 10 be done here by our own
and future generations for long time
to come, but the task of laying the
foundation for an unprecedented
states growth and development has
fallen to us to do. We are RESPONSE
BILE for it's character -whether it shall
be substantial and lasting or not. Our
every effort must be directed with
unquestioned honesty with respect to
the public welfare, it's needs and de-
mands-such a condition then in
wolves the candid consideration by us
of the following questions:
First-Are our farm products being
secured without unnecessary loss in
quantity and quality, and are they
being converted into first class quail
ty dairy products?
Seconds the consuming public
being supplied with honest goods and
such as the label would Indicate?
Third-Does fraud or deceit in any
manner enter into the sale and distri-
button of dairy products in this state?
These are some of the vital ques-
tons that seriously concern our dairy
interests. The first question concerns
ourselves and must be answered in
the negative. 1t is safe to say that
from one-quarter to one-third of the
on our farms for our stock is abso-
lutely lost, through carelessness and
out-of-date methods in growing and
securing the same. This statement
perhaps applies more particularly to
the western Washington farms and
not so severely to the east of the Cas-
cades farmer. Climatic conditions
seem to favor the east side farmer.
We do not admit that the credit is due
him of being strictly better farmer.
We have also negatized the second
part of our first question that touches
upon the quality of our dairy products
and this negative answer comes
from the consumers, who also say
that the quality of such products con-
tinues to retrograde and is falling
still farther below the standard. The
public palate makes the final test and
we are compelled to accept this YER
dict as final.
Now, the question becomes peril
nent, who or what is responsible for
the situation?
It is not to be forgotten that with
the advent of the centrifugal machine
in our state, there simultaneously
took place a great Improvement in the
