ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCEMENTS
In commenting upon dairy conditions in the south, R. B. Becker stated in part: "Trends in the southern dairy industry show that from 1926 to 1932, production of butter increased 39.2 per cent; cheese increased 3726.9 per cent; condensed and evaporated milks 434.1 per cent; and powdered milk products 1268.3 per cent. On the other hand, factory production of ice cream decreased 22.1 per cent; condensed buttermilk 37.9 per cent; and renovated butter 11.1 per cent, thanks to work on the care of milk and cream.--On January 1, 1927, we numbered 74 workers in the field of dairylug--increased ~o 92 at the beginning of the current year.--The physical facilities include new dairy manufacturing class rooms and laboratories at Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Virginia; with major improvements of existing facilities at Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia. New barns, silos, or additional housing space for dairy cattle have been provided at Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia. ' '
Dairy Congress in Italy Word has been received from Dr. H. H. Boysen of the Dairy Institute near Berlin that the next International Dairy Congress that was to have been held in Berlin in 1934 is to be held at Rome, Italy, in 1934. German dairy workers hope that conditions in Germany will be sufficiently adjusted to permit holding the Dairy Congress in Berlin in 1937. The Congress of the International Society of Microbiology that was to be held at the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin this s~mmer has been postponed and plans arc being made to hold this Congress in Berlin during June or July of 1934.
CLARENCE HENRY ECKLES The death of Doctor Clarence Henry Eckles was a notable loss to the dairy industry. He served the industry by investigations in both dairy cattle and dairy manufacturing problems of a practical and of a strictly scientific aspect. He was preeminent in the development of men to serve ill all branches of the dairy industry with ability which was a credit to their teacher. He recognized the need for and was a pioneer in the development of science which furnished facts to assist in rounding out our dairy and scientific knowledge that the solution of new problems might be visualiized. Clarence Henry Eckles was born on a farm in Iowa on April 14, 1875. He died in St. Paul, Minnesota, on February 13, 1933. He was graduated

from Iowa State College in 1895 and later studied at the University of Wisconsin, and at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. From 1901 to 1919 he was head of the dairy department at the University of Missouri and from 1919 he was head of the dairy department at the University of Minnesota. In 1904 and 1905 he studied in Germany and SwitzeEand, his specialty being bacteriology. The American Dairy Science Association and its publication the JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE are deeply indebted to him for its development. He was charter member of the former official Dairy Instructors' Association which developed in its Scope and objects and became the American Dairy Science Association. He served as its president and in innumerable less conspicuous capacities. He was active in promoting the JOURNAL OP DAIRY SCmNCE and as a member of the board of associate editors his counsel helped to formulate present JOVRNAL policies. A more comprehensive tribute to him will be found elsewhere in this number.
