The milk pro- ducers, makers, buyers, and inspec tors discussed the situation thorough- ly. and the following resolutions re- suited:
RESOLVED: That it would be in
the best interest of the lndustry if every factory representative present could procure it copy of the material placed before this conference in re gard to existing conditions to take home und iliace before a meeting ot the boiirtl of directors at tm early date. and to impress upon the direc- tors tlie importance of making a per- sonal caiivltss of the various milk routes with a. view of having milk cooled and 'hotter cared for en the i'arni`. also the importance ol' i-loser co-operation with the makers and fac- tory inspector in order to bring about improved conditions.
RESOLVED: Thai in view of the
facts presented at this conference and the importance c-i’ keeping our out put of cheese and butter up io the standamtl of the goods. we are obliged to compete with on the foreign mai* keis. we believe it would he in the best interests of the industry to have and instructor and inspector to work :tuieug the t`-.\-ctorlcs and patrons dur- ing the whole year, and we further he- lieve said instructor and .inspector should _lie in a position to carry on his work without, depending on 'the as dessnicut marie on the factories for his salary, ami we would urge upon lihe incoming directors of the Dairy Association the importance of taking this matter up with the Department of Agriculure with ri view of having

ltES0l..VED: That in view of the
facts presented at the coiifere-lice and realizing the importance of having all our factories and equipment, etc., kept up to ii satisfactory standard. we be- lieve it would be in the best interests of the lndustry that legislation be asked for along the lines followed in tihe. other Provinces to govern the work of the factory inspector and we would suggest that the incoming di- rectors of the Dairy Association see i.hnt this is done at the coming ses- sion of the Provincial Legislature.
RESOLVED: That it would be in
the best interest of tihe dairy industry of Prince Edward Island if provision could be made for our makers to get a dairy school training along the same lines as the makers in Quebec.
