President Davis Advises Dairymen
Not in Favor of Consolidation With Other Agricultural
 Societes-Reports of Other Officers.

The 31st annual convention of the Connecticut Dairymen's association opened two days session at Hart ford Wednesday forenoon. Exhibits of dairy machinery and appliances were II ade in the lower hall and were in- teresting to the milk and butter pro- ducers.
 The programme embraced the annu- al reports and interesting addresses on dairy topics.
 The meeting was called to order by President G. Warren Davis of Nor wich, who presented Mayor Edward L. Smith of Hartford, who, as Presi- dent Davis said, had a year ago turned over the keys of the city to the dairy men.
 Vice President F. E. Duffy of West Hartford responded to the mayor welcome, and expressed the appreci- ation of the dairymen of the mayors s expression of good feeling,
 The annual address of the president was then given.
 Presidents Address.
 In beginning his remarks President G. Warren Davis of Norwich said that the programme provided for an annual address by the president, but he scarcely wished to call his talk an annual address. He said at the out set that the year was a disastrous one for successful dairying in the state, according to reports, and there must be some particular reason for it. He referred to the midsummer drought, and briefly surveyed the industry in the state of Connecticut.
 He said thaht three other states are clamoring for our product, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York, and in spite of that and the enormous consumption of dairy products in our state, still there are people in the state who say dairying is not a pay ing business.
 Why is it not?" asked President Davis?" ''Is there anything the mat ter? Any wrong conception in the minds of the operators of the bus mess in Connecticut? Surely there must be and there must be something either the matter with the man or the farm"
 Contrast in Production.
 At this juncture MT. Davis called attention to an exhibit on the stage showing the difference in production from cows. On one side of the stage was shown the average daily production of the Connecticut COW which was five quarts of milk and foul | pounds of butter The daily rations fer the average cew were bulletinet Hay, 15 lbs. at $2O ton on.........s i: Corn stalks, bun at sS ton...... o:
