WOOL GROWERS coNvEMr1oN

W0oG GROWERS CONVENTION
This is the day of conventions, and in. num-
Der and variety of c~onvocations of this kind
our State seems to take the lead. In addition
to political, religious and benevolent conven-
tious of all kinds, we have had recently con-
~ventions Of the Military. Firemen, Physicians,
School Teachers. Rail road managers &e.-we
are also to have soon a State Convention oil
Sabbath School Teachers, and another of the
Musical Bands of the State. The last move
in this fine is for a Convention of the Wool
Growers and Manufacturers of the nation, to
be held in Cleveland at an early day, to be
hereafter designated. Tho call, which is signed
by a large number of Western Agriculturists
we subjoin:
The subscribers having at heart the interest
of the Wool Growers of the West, suggest
that a Fair be held at Cleveland at as early a
day as convenient after shearing, for the pur-
pose of exhibiting the different styles of wool
ard that the awarding committee of maRnfac-
turers be selected from whom wool grower,
will be likely to receive many suggestions which
may prove useful in enabling them to select
the most desirable style of wool to grow.
We would further suggest,
1st- That Goedale & Co., of Cleveland be
requested to make the necessary arrange
ments for carrying out this fair.
End. That surh competition be open to ev-
cry wool grower in the Union.
Bird. That manufacturer be invited to at
tend such Fair. We believe that an inter
change of views would result in the mutual
benefit Of manufacturers and wool growers,
whose interests are identical. We have in
some sections of the country, Market Fairs, for
the sale of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry,
&c. In our Judgment no article Of farm pro
duce would be more benefited by Market Fairs
than wocL. We would therefore recommend
thai the above-named firm offer to manufactur-
ers on the day of the Fair the wool which may
be accumulated, and which may be for sale at
the Cleveland Wool Depot.
This pan, will, we believe, meet with the
favor of manufacturer and woolgrowers or
Merchants having wool for sale, and viii be
likely to insure competition by the large at
tendance of manufacturers, and viii favorably
impress all ~wool7growers with the Importance
Vi ttIkhl uuIOA oLtu oyctosA IN uAdl ACthAS WOOAS
which seems so desirable"
In accordance with the suggestion in the call
Messrs. Goodale & Co., of the Wool Grower,
announce some of the intended features of the
Fair. The Committee for awarding premiums
will be selected from among manufacturers, and
one of the best particulars of the exhibition
will be the fact that exhibitors of wool will
meet directly with the consumers and consult
with them as to improvements, &c. Compe-
tition viii be open to every wool grower in the
United States, and those who cannot attend in
person can send samples which will be faith
FULLY attended to and returned if desired. Not
more than ten or less than FIVE Aeeces of one
class will be entered for competition. Sub
scriptions have already been procured sufficient
to make up a handsome list of premiums which
will be published in due time.
