perlor in honor, energy and manly
worth. You will be called upon TO
assist our National association in funds
to liquidate indebtedness and in pro-
tectiDg our interests in congress.
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
met in Chicago last September. Kan
sas was represented by full delega-
ton. "A majority of those assembled
were in favor of reopening the question
this winter lin congress and a. Nj. Gar
land not asking for q reelection, G..
Delano, of Ohio, was elected presi-
dent, and w. G.. Markham, secretary.
Mr.. Markham believing that TO reopen
the question would endanger our Sc
curity, did not wish to serve, and re-
signed, when A. Chapman, of Vermont,
a friend of both Garland and Markham,
was elected secretary. Thus the breach
caused by Ohio was healed, and il the
present president and secretary work
as faithful for the interest of one asso-
citation as did Garland and Markham,
am content. Our state still retains n
member OF the executive committee of
five, f. Bronson having been elected
to that position and every wool grower
in Kansas will feel sure that his interest
will be protected as long as we have
such member on that committee.
STATE FAIR.
Our display of sheep was the largest
ever saw, quality keeping pace with
the quantity. This year one of our
home breeders took one of the two
sweepstakes against all comers. What
we want is more entries from home in
n plo Il "A Il
men must come to the fore, and con-
test, or reduction in premium in
these classes will be in order And
also it seems to me that with the liber-
al premiums offered in grade classes
more strife should be shown.
would advise that the committee on
premium lists make report at this
meeting SO as to have premium lists
published with report, thus giving
more time to shear and prepare pens
and individual sheep for competition,
and save great amount of CORE
spondence for the officers.
MARKETING WOOL.
A proposition will be presented by
Topeka men to build and equip a
securing mill. l would advise
careful consideration of the matter
at this time. The same has been
successfully tried in California and is
being agitated in Texas. Some plan
should receive the recommendation of
this association that will meet this
want-home market, as near rs posi-
BILE, or combination TO secure the
greatest advantage with the least
risk of loss. Now, in conclusion, /
tn nd Of
YOU for the forbearance and kindness
shown to me during my three years rs
president of your association, and be-
lieve me when | say no honor has ever
been conferred upon me that has
touched my heart, gratiiied my pride,
or been more fraught with courtesy
and kindness, than this; and my de-
termination to retire is not based on
anything except my wish to remain iE
the ranks, freed from the responsible
ties and have more time to devote to
my own personal affairs. If my hum
BILE services have been of any avail or
fraught with any good results, your
own cooperation has assisted, and
your able secretary is entitled to
full share. My thanks are extended
to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
and Union Pacific railroads for cour-
tesies extended, and to all in fact, for
so much kindness shown, and be-
speak for my successor the same.
This closes my official duties rs presi-
dent and hoping that your future may
be rs bright as you desire and your de
liberations conducive to the good of all
wool-growers, | make my adieu.
