wool growers and sheep breeders were
in session here Saturday afternoon, ar
ranging for the annual state meeting
nt Aberdeen on June Z, and consider
ing number of topics touching their
interests. The matter of securing bet
ter freight rates was pretty thor ughly
discussed, A number of gentlemen
gave some account of their expert
enco in the various wool market is.
Some had found Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Sioux City better markets for their
wool than either Chicago or St Louis.
The clip of the present season will be
marvellous as compared with that OF
former years. and the wool is of much
better quality. Farmers and sheep
owners are in better shape financially
than heretofore and will not be in d.
great rush to sell their wool Diseases
of sheep particularly scab were CON
sidered, and experiences with various
kinds of dip" given, many of which
were quite instructive.
