Stewart Wants Improved
Market Quotations
From l.. A. Yard

The California Dairy Council sue
cessfulv navigated over shoals and
around threatening jagged rocks yes
terday afternoon. The statewide
fight being waged against DR.. }. p.
lverson, director of the bureau of
animal industry of the state depart
ment Of agriculture, broke out 81
the matinee session when the propos-
al was made that Il resolution be
adopted asking that DIR. iverson be
.. not reappointed.
Charge of specific and general
character were made against DR.. "
erson by several of the delegates.
Indeed, the head of the animal in
dustry bureau appeared to be with
out defenders in reference to the
clai mthat he is tactless in dealing
with quarrels within his department,
inclined to promise too much and
neglectful about making promises
good 1t vas not alleged that he
was dishonest nor even Incompetent,
but temperamentally unsuited to an
administrative place.
After the grievances against Dir.
lverson had been well aired, calmer
council prevented the dairy council
from departing from its general pol
icy and purpose, one of education
and promotion, and squelched the
adoption of any resolutions Which
might tend to draw the organ'zation
into politics.
World S Dairy Congress
At the afternoon session the coun
ell looked forward to the meeting of
the world S dairy congress sometime
next October. At that time dele
gates will be present from all parts
of the world and II plan will be
worked out to give the delegates
coming to California a survey of the
whole dairy industry of California
1t was proposed that, starting in
Imperial Valley, the delegates be
taken the length of the state, finish
ing the trip of inspection at Hum
boldt. Local people will have charge
of the entertainment during the
time that the delegates are in I'M
perial County.
Branding T. B. Cows
One of the questions coming up
for discussion was proposed lcgisla-
tion to provide for identifying cows
found to be afflicted with tubercu-
losis. A bill is to be presented to
the Legislature, copies of which were
circulated among the directors and
others present. Discussion was had
of the various features of the bill,
and directors promised to give the
matter individual attention and also
through other organizations which
they represent, but no action was
taken by the council defining its
attitude toward the question.
Misleading Stock Quotations
G, +. Stewart, supervisor in In
pcrial County, brought up the ques-
tion of alleged false and misleading
price quotations being sent out by
the Union Stock Yards of Los An
gelcs. Mr. Stewart claimed to have
the goods and stated specific in
stances within his own knowledge.
President ID. \. Dorman expressed
it as his belief that the evil COM
planned of would be corrected
through resumption of telegraphic
market quotations by the United
States department of agriculture.
A large grist of detail matters of
minor Importance was disposed of,
being put through with II snap under
the capable handling of the secre-
tary, Sam Greene. The evening ses-
sion served to clean up the admins
trative work and this morning was
given over to an inspection of the
plant of California Central Cream
cries with Manager =. IL. Cary act
ing as guide.
