BYLAWS SHOULD BE CHANGED.
I recommend that committee Of re-
organization Of thes National Wool
Growers association be appointed al
this meeting 10 recommend such broad
ening and strengthening Of the assoc
citation as will make II truly represent

INSTRUCTED in our work az this meeting
il is suggested that the present by
laws be suspended or repealed by the
two-thirdg vote required in section y
on the Sth day Of May 1893, the
honored and respected president OF TINS
association. Judge William Lawrence
Of Bellfontaine, Ohio. at the ripe age
Of so, passed from US
To the land upon whose bllssful shore,
There falls no shadow, rests no stain,
Where friends shall meet to part no
more,
And those long parted meet again.
The memory of his long and useful
life will be constant inspiration TO
those OF us who werg fortunate enough
to know him. and this meeting viii un-
doubtedly take suitable action upon the
subject
THE OFFICE OF GENERAL AGENT.
Because OF the death of Judge Law
renee. and after consulting with wool
growers as far as possible In all parts
Of the United states, the duty Of call
ing a meeting Of this association De
yOlved upon me under section OF the
bylaws Of the association, namely
Section 6: II will be the duty OF the
president. or In case Of his inabillty'
one OF the vice presidents, in the order
OF seniority, 10 call and preside az an
meetings of the association. VINE
Judge Lawrence was yet with us, and
by votes Of the association at meetings
In Washington IN the winter Of 1861
] accepted a proposition that II | would
establish a Bulletin" Of the assOcia-
ton. IL should be made the association
organ. and as first vice president, ] was
appointed general agent OF the associa
ton and was directed in cooperation
with the executive board 20 take all
proper means 20 secure q more enlarged
and complete organization Of the wool
growers of the United States and wool
organizations In cooperation with the
National Wool Growers Association.
and that he the general agent make
report To the meetings of this assocla-
ton as they may from time 70 time be
held
As there were no associations OF
wool growers In New England, except
ing one or two breeders associations,
the first vice president, as general
agent OF the association. organized the
New England Wool Growers Associa-
ton. and as we have been able 20 OBJ
tain. a membership Of nearly 1000 In
that association, Il affords excellent
testimony as 10 the possibility Of sim
liar work In every part OF the United
States BY further effort q member
shin of 1900 can be obtained for the
New England Wool Growers Associa-
ton. and II 5000 members can be OBJ
tanned for an association of sheep men
In the New England states 5000 mem
bers can be obtained for such an or
panization in New York State, and
several times that number In Ohio.
DIRECT NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP
NEEDED.
But your general agent has naturally
hesitated to canvass for members IN
a State where a wool growers associa-
ton exists. even though Il may not
have had meetings for several years,
but may resent any such movement
unless conducted through IT'S own or
ganizatlou II is recommended, there
q. ...,tssfffffft.stH e Cd
citation be so broadened as tO include
an members of existing State wool
growers associations and Of the New
England Wool Growers Association,
and also that members Of the National
Wool Growers Association may be OBJ
tanned by direct application OF individ-
ual wool growers 10 the officers Of the
national association, and that the per-
sonnet OF the National Wool Growers
Association include direct members,
that IS. those Joining the National
Wool Growers Association without be-
ing members OF existing State wool
growers associations.
Under this plan by the employment
OF a sufficient number OF organizing
agents I'm all parts OF the United States.
100 900 direct permanent members OF
this association can be secured In q
few years. The total expense OF OBJ
tanning these members can be borne
from the National Shepherds Bulle-
tin" and In addition thereto a fund Of
ten cents per number can bf paid into
the treasury Of the national assocla-
non as a fund 20 sustain the expense
Of meetings in Washington. and the
attendance Of delegates together with
the employment Of a paid secretary.

sponsibillty OF securing a charter for

OF 500 900. divided into shares Of the
