OF THE
Wisconisn Dairymen's Association
AT THEIR
FORTIETH ANNUAL CONVENTION
Held in Beloit, November, 1911.
ADDRESS OF WELCOME
By MAYOR L. B. CUNNINGHAML OF BELOIT.
Members of the Wisconsin Dairymen's Association:
Gentlemen: It is a great pleasure for me, in behalf of the members
of your association In this city as well as the citizens in general, to
extend a very hearty welcome to you to Beloit. I have watched with
great pleasure the ever Increasing importance of our state as a dairy
center. I have watched the work of the state university reaching out
Into all the corners of the state with helpful instruction to the dairy-
men. The work that this association does has a direct bearing on the
welfare of all the citizens of the state. Better bred cattle and more
sanitary conditions about the stables, mean pure milk and better meats.
Your association has accomplished much in the past forty years of its
organization and I am sure that this convention will bear a very marked
influence on the lines of advancement In dairy farming.
Wisconsin has sent a cow to the capital at Washington. Some day
we may send a president there. I thank you.
