interest in the areas of membership, publication, awards, improvement of papers at meetings, Second World Congress on Animal Production, taxation of non-profit organizations, and many others. Three joint committees on farm waste, animal care, pesticides and other chemicals were established. Tho meeting proved to be very beneficial and Roberts thanked both groups for meeting with ADSA. Branion felt it would be worthwhile to go on record that these discussions be continued. Dr. Shoffner extended an invitation to the group to meet with the Poultry Science Association next year at Texas A & M. Meeting adjourned at 5:30 t'~. Report of Extension Section. The 1967 Extension Section Program Committee developed their program on the basis of subject matter interest, indicated by a questionnaire to all Extension dairymen and othm~. Subject matter sessions were developed by Extension and joint Extension and Production committees, using as a guide topics and speakers suggested from results of the interest questionnaire. The Extension Section developed two joint symposiums with the Production Section, one on Dairy Cattle Breeding, the other on Brucellosis. Also; the Extension Section participated in a joint Production Section developed symposium on Large Herd Management. These symposiums and 27 invited and submitted papers completed a full and informative program. During the past year the National D H I A Coordinating Group has become fully active, performing the duties this group has been assigned in the production testing program. Many of the items formerly handled by the ADSA Dairy Records Committee are now handled by this group. Thus, the A D S A Records Committee can now extend itself into fields that will ultimately result in a stronger and more helpful production testing program for the dairy industry. The Extension Section has been encouraged

The program of the Manufacturing Section this year included 118 formal papers submitted and scheduled, plus eight invited papers presented at two afternoon sessions held jointly with the Industry and Business Section. This totaled 124 papers of direct interest to members of the Manufacturing Section. Included in these were 11 entries in competition in the Graduate Scientific Paper Presentation. The Program Committee is pleased to report continued participation by fellow scientists from outside the United States, and expresses sincere appreciation for their significant and scholarly contributions to the program this year. There were two business meetings. These were unusual, and the discussions were active and lively. At the second meeting, action was taken to direct that a committee be appointed to study the suitability of various electronic milk fat measuring methods and data, then to report findings. Six committees were active during the past year and reports were given. All reports were accepted in whole or in part, and each committee was directed to continue its work during the coming year. Several resolutions were presented by the Section Committee on Resolutions. Those approved were forwarded to the ADSA General Resolutions Committee for their consideration.

The Committee on Judging Dairy Products assisted with the supervision of the 45th Collegiate Students' International Contest held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, October 23, 1966. The Contest results were made available to all. A display of educational materials on Sensory Evaluation of Dairy Foods used by the several institutions was arranged for viewing and inspection in a room adjoining our meeting rooms. I t was most interesting. Many visited this display and it was well-received. The Conmfittee on Enzyme Nomenclature reported adoption of the enzyme classification system recommended by the International Union of Biochemists as it appears in Comprehensive Biochemistry, Vol. 13, published by Elsevier Publishing Company, 1964. I t is anticipated that a compilation of the several discrete enzyme systems present inherently in milk and milk products will be published soon in the JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE.

62nd Annual Meeting of the A D S A have been cordially hosted and found the arrangements and accommodations most satisfatcory and enjoyable, it is therefore R E S O L V E D that the members of this Association express their appreciation to the staff of Cornell University and especially to the Departments of Animal and Food Science, and their families, and to the dairy industry and affiliated organizations in New York for their contributions toward making this meeting a success. 2. W H E R E A S , a National Dairy Herd Improvement Association, Inc. has been formed to help strengthen the production testing program throughout the United States, and W H E R E A S production testing programs make essential contributions to dairy science research, extension, and teaching, be it therefore R E S O L V E D that the American Dairy Science Association commend the officers of the National Dairy Herd Improvement Association, Inc. for developing a working organization that will strengthen the production testing programs throughout the United States and that we look forward to working with the organization in the years to come. 3. W H E R E A S many common interests exist among members of the American Dairy Science Association, American Society of Animal Science, and Poultry Science Association, as well as other related professional societies in business, research, and extension areas and

W H E R E A S officers of these organizations now have active working relationships in areas of common interest, be it therefore R E S O L V E D that the officers and executive Board of A D S A continue to consider some type of cooperative activity between ADSA, A S A S , and P S A and other related professional societies. 4. W H E R E A S abnormal milk and mastitis are among the most important and expensive problems facing farmers and the dairy industry, and W H E R E A S existing screening tests are inadequate, and caution should be taken in using these screening tests in setting standards for determining milk quality, it is therefore R E S O L V E D that the USDA, and extension and research workers provide more educational leadership in making known the need for improvement of existing screening tests and further that the USDA and other a p p r o p r i a t e federal and state agencies and industry be urged to provide more funds for the study of abnormal milk and mastitis, as well as for improvement of screening tests. 5. W H E R E A S little attention is paid to the A D S A placement service; and W H E R E A S this should be an important function of the Association, be it therefore R E S O L V E D that a more aggressive, better planned, and systematic approach with regard to the placement service be initiated, and that it be closely associated with the Student Affiliate group.
