COllege-Summary of First
Days Session.

Agricultural College, Miss, April
5.-A representative number of COM
mercial creamery and dairy opera
tives of Mississippi were assembled
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College on Tuesday April for the
first days meeting of the Mississippi
Creamerymen's Association for 1921.
The meeting was convened in the Y.
M. C. A. auditorium about 10:45
o'clock being called to order by Pro-
fessor j. S. Moore, head of the Col
lege Dairying Division, in the una
voidable temporary absence of Pres
ident H. F. McWilliams, of Hatties-
burg, with Secretary l., S. Edwards
of the college faculty on hand with
his records.
In calling the meeting to order
Prof. Moore declared that this con-
ference will probably be the most
important and significant to be held
since the Association was organized.
To the mind of all observant people,
men and women there is no doubt
that the creamery and dairying in
dustry is the most important and
promising of the industrial activities
in the state; that it is an industry
presenting wonderful opportunities
and invested with intensely practi7
cal possibilities; that it behooves all
who are directly concerned in the
promotion of the work and the en-
largement and extension of its op-
erations, to get together and study
the situation.
After a brief but forceful intro
ductory address Prof. Moore formal
ly presented President D. C. Hull to
deliver the address of welcome to
the campus visitors, the distingish-
ed chief executive of the college be-
ing we'll received as indicated by the
spontaneous round of applause that
greeted his appearance.
DR.. Hull was as usual, in good
voice and spoke with all the vigor
and clarity of expression which is
characteristic of him, and saying the
right things at the right time-al-
ways logical and apropos. DR.. Hull
entered into an analytical statement
and explanation of the functions of
the Mississippi Agricultural and Me-
chancial College in the main to
quicken and broaden the agricultur-
al and industrial life of the COM
monwealth Of Mississippi and for
! training its young manhood to an
adequate and practical appreciation
Of the possibilities which are held
out for the maintenance of an indus
trious, thinking and resourceful ci-
tizenship. He briefly but logically
analyzed the functions of the exper-
iment station and extension forces
centered at the college, which are
part and parcel of it's effective in
structional system; whose activities
are based on exact principles and
scientific and carried to the larger
school by trained instructors and
specialists.
as stated by DR.. Hull it gave him
/ the greatest of pleasure and gratif-
cation to welcome such a body of
men to this College which is CEN
trail point about which is built up an
almost ideal and successful dairying
and creamery industry, which is the
pride of all citizens of Oktibbeha
county.
The response to DR.. Hull's well
come was made by A. G. Brush of
Laurel, manager of another success
full creamery, who assured DR.. Hull,
for himself and on behalf of his Wis
iting associates, that they appreciat-
ed every expression which had fallen
from his lips.
Pending the arrival of President
McWilliams who had been delayed
en- route a general round table was
held led by l.. A. Higgins extension
dairy husbandman who was as usual
sound and practical.
The afternoon session was featur-
ed by addresses from ]. H. McClain
representing the U. D. Dept, of Ag-
riculture's dairy forces and Director
R. S.. Wilson of the extension work
in Mississippi.
In the evening banquet was hello
in the "Y" Cafe. Wednesday was
devoted to butter scoring at the col
lege creamery.
