| provided for in the agricultural act
approved March 3, 1921, which au-
thorized the president OF the United
States to invite all nations to send
representatives to Americas first in
ternational dairy meeting. At the
suggestion Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, a score Of
branches of the dairy industry-rep-
resenting producers as well as con-
| sumers, scientists as well as bust
ness men-had already got together
for the first time in their history and
had formed a temporary organization
with DR.. Van Norman as chairman to
look into the possibilities for the con-
gress. The prospects were found
bright enough by spring, 1921, to
couse the agricultural department to
ask California University to grant

from his duties as dean of. the school
farm at Davis, and professor of
dairy management to carry the plans
to fruition.
