Wool Growers.
The wool growers Of the state who are
in the city to-day, to attend the conven-
ton, will meet for organization at 4
o'clock this afternoon at the Office OF
Surveyor General Williams. The at
tendance from the eastern part of the
state is not as large as it should be, but
the slope is we'll represented, and those
who are present take a deep interest in
the question of organization at issue.
Mr.. Krauth of Hebron, is the leading
spirit. His wool interests are quite ex-
t~ensive, and he is interested to see that
the wool growers organize, and that some
resolutions be passed and efforts made
to secure legislation which shall be fav-
orable to wool growers and their inter-
ests. In his opinion, a duty on wool is
the only thing that will render the bust
ness profitable, and enable those inter-
ested in it to carry on the business.
The organization of a state association
will probably be perfected this after
noon, and some action taken in the
matter of a resolution of the organiza-
ton as to what legislation, in the opinion
of the wool growers, is needed for the adj
vancements of their interests. Once
formed, the association will grow more
powerful as the industry increases in ex-
tent, and the wool growers present to-
day, look Tor much benefit from the as
ISOLATION in the future.
