facturer and spinner, each separate f1eecs
to be divided into the different grades
| that each fleece contains.
Third-The company agreeing Il
| grade, sort and scour; furnish full in.
surance ION wGoD, and storage for foul
months, for two cents per pound; bu
Will ask that whenever the company

| room for the receipt of other wool.
Fourth-On receipt of wool the com
pany will issue warehouse receipts Il
the shipper, negotiable at any bank OF

SeYenth-In order to reduce T ates o.
freight to maximum, wool should b'
shipped in Car lots of not less than 10,
coo pounds each, and if from one ship
per will be sorted, secured, and baled a
one lot, keeping each grade separate
This is to give large growers or shippers
an opportunity to control their ewI
wool as well as to give each grower th'
advantages that arise for cleaner woods
careful handling, and careful feeding
and to encourage the growing of the
most profitable grades of wool.
Eighth-Lots less than car loads vii
be graded, sorted, and sold in mass will

Resolved, That our delegation in con
gress, be, and are hereby requested, b
make all proper efforts that the tariff Oh
wool of 1882, be restored.
In support of the resolution Mr. Evan
said that he thought wool grower
ought to look after their own bushes
and not go into the tariff question at all
Nobody else cared to discuss the resolu
ton. 1t was adopted.
The committee also offered the follow
ing, which was adopted:
Whereas, The present price of wool II
not justly remunerative to the wool
growers, and.
Whereas, the rates on local freighti
in this state are excessive, therefore va
ask of the railroad commissioners To-
the state of Kansas a readjustment o
freight rates within the state, TO the enc
that labor in connection with the WOO
interests may be fairly paid, and to thu
end that capital invested therein be no
of necessity withdrawn from that branch
of industry.
After the reading and answering o

the association adj burned sine die.
