the washington Da1rymenS ASSOCld-
ton in our eleventh annual meeting,
hereby tender our grateful acknowl-
edgment to the citizens of North Yaki-
ma for their cordial welcome and the
many courtesies extended in their eff
forts to make this meeting both pleas
ant and profitable; to the Commercial
Club of North Yakima for the use of
their rooms and entertainment; to the
press for their liberal notices.
We congratulate the members of the
association and the citizens of the
state of Washington upon the sub
stantial increase and Improvement in
the dairy industry in the state.
We appreciate and acknowledge the
work done by the dairy and food COM
missioner, Hon. e. A. Mcdonald, and
it is the sense of this association that
sufficient money should be appropriate
ed for this department to employ
competent dairy instructor and in
spector, whose entire time should be
devoted to the improvement of the
sanitary condition of the dairy herds
and the cream and milk supply of the
state and that such amendment should
be made to the present dairy laws of
the state so as to make the enforce
ment of the necessary regulations
practical and efficient.
We congratulate the farmers and
dairymen of the state of Washington
upon the fact that the last legislature
recognized the importance and value
of a farmers institute as a factor in
the improvement and upbuilding of
the agricultural industry. We hereby
endorse the manner in which the agri-
cultural college is carrying out the
spirit and letter of the law and the
judicious manner in which the small
appropriation is being expended. 1t
is the sense of the association that
the growth and development of the
agricultural interests demand further
recognition, and we che erfully tender
the principal and faculty of Washing
ton Agriculture College our hearty ap-
probation of their efforts in behalf of
agriculture.
We hereby tender our hearty thanks
and appreciation to President Blanch-
ard for energy, efficiency and courtesy
in presiding over and conducting the
affairs of this association.
We also tender our hearty thanks
ulSu dppl VI CuO oOl FlCOO
of our able secretary, Mrs. E. Car
michael, for the untiring and faithful
manner in which she has performed
the arduous duties as secretary of
this association, recognizing the fact
that her devotion to the welfare of
this association has been most po-
tent factor in the success of this
meeting.
Whereas, Renovated butter repre-
sents a filthy product and cannot be
sold without being deoderized and col
ored; whereas, it's sale retards the
growth of the dairy industry;
Resolved, that this association COM
mends the aggressive work of the de-
partment of agriculture, through the
chief of the dairy division, in enforc-
ing B. A. I. order No. SO, which pro-
vides for the marking of renovated
butter
Resolved That in token of our
hearty appreciation of the pleasing,
interesting and instructive addresses
of Prof. E. w. Major, in adding to the
interest and enthusiasm of this meet
ing, we do hereby tender our sincere
thanks with our best wishes in eff
forts to upbuild and improve the dairy
industry in our sister state.

will take years for us to redeem.
also hold it to be equally our duty to
give publicity to any practice or sys-
tenn calculated to injure the business
of dairying in this state, through plac-
ing on the market dairy products OF
inferior quality. (Applause.)
DR.. Nelson, who at first held to the
ideas expressed by Mr.. VOL, shouted:
THAT is right"
A buttermaker from Seattle detailed
the practice in the city by stating that
the city creamery made three grades
of butter, the lowest grade being
made from the poorest quality OF
cream.
A Member-What is done with such
butter?
Answer-It is sold to the restau-
rants and mostly consumed before too
old.
Mr. McDonald-I am surprised at
the admission made by the gentleman.
The quality of much of our butter
certainly needs looking after.
The question came up as to the best
method of reaching and helping the
creamery patron in order that a gen.
eral improvement as to the condition
of the cream when reaching the
creamery, be secured. G. l.. Smith,
who for many years was dairy COM
missioner for Minnesota related the
history of the same question in that
state. All plans failed until the ap-
pointment of dairy instructor and
inspector, which forever solved the
problem. And under such system the
business of dairying has flourished in
hot cto 10 no in state
in the Union.
The state veterinarian, DR.. S. B.
Nelson, gave an excellent talk on the
subject, "How to Minimize theGreat
Cattle Plaques" The doctor gave his
experience as state veterinarian in the
enforcement of the law prohibiting
the importation into this state OF cat
tie afflicted by disease, and clearly
showed the Importance and great value
of the law to the live stock interests
of the state. The doctor strongly adj
vised the strict enforcement Of the
law, saying that such was the first
hing to do to minimize the plaques.
The next thing was to isolate and
treat any disease or affected stock,
and in all serious cases to lose no
time in securing the services of a
competent veterinarian.
B. F. Reed read very valuable
paper on "The Variableness of the.
Test" Patrons, as well as creamery
men, were particularly interested in
this paper.
James Hart read a carefully pre-
pared paper, reviewing the dairy in
dustry of the state, giving many sta
tistics of much interest and value.
Third Day.
Prof. Severance, of our Agricultural
College, gave a very interesting talk
upon Changes in Dairy Practice"
The professor began by referring to
the ancient methods of dairying, and
traced the growth of the business
step by step to the methods in vogue
at the present day.
The topic, Sugar Beet Develop
ment in Washington" was admirably
handled by Prof. Fulmer, and whose
paper We hope to publish in the near
future. The paper presents logical
and business like review of that in
dustry in our state, and predicts for
it a very bright future.

of Yakima county, read carefully
