PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
We have been favored all through the
season with an abundance of rain which
has meant good crops, and with the OK
cellent pastures the cows have done bet
ter than usual. We have received good
prices for all farm produce and We are
still able to keep out of the terrible
conflict which is raging over so large
A part OF the world. For this We should
feel grateful. Al the present time not
only are the prices of milk and butter
getting higher but the prices Of farms
are even higher than the produce which
Is sold from them. which means that the
farmers must practice more intensive
ia rming. \ young man cannot pay the
market price for a farm and make "A sue
cess unless he brings it to its highest
state of efficiency. One thing demanding
our attention more and more is the
sanitary condition of our milk and cream
in which the cleanliness of the scparator
plays an important part There Shout
he a penalty for running new milk
through dirty separator Is not the
dairy business of the State of Vernon.
Of enough Importance So that the State
could afford to be at the expense
OF having enough inspectors to cover the
state often enough so that We could get
results? ! would recommend that We have
legislative committee appointed to
look after the dairy interests I'm the
Legislature as they do in the New York
state Datr"mens association. This

see greit change in tho law before Tn.
end Congress adjourned We expect.
ri TO see the Lever bill enacted into a
law to take the place OF the present one.
but Congress adjourned without acting.
The question is, are they going to i'm
prove the dairy interests OF the country
by enacting this so-caled Lever hill
