Livestock Inspection
The convention is to ask congress to
establish a system of livestock inspec-
ton more satisfactory than the one
which exists at present Stock being
shipped under the present law has to
be inspected at every state boundary,
and it means a great loss through the
loading and unloading process. to say
nothing of the loss OF time 1t is pro-
posed to have d government inspector
at all the principal points. and to have
him inspect the herds before they are
loaded. such inspection to suffice for the
journey whether it extends into the
neighbOTing state OF across the cont
nent. The stock growers argue that if
one bill Of health is good TO gel the
stock out of Utah. for instance, il is
good to take them anywhere in the
United States. They say there is no
likelihood Of disease developing among
the stock in trip across Che country.
They want the government to pay Ele
salaries OF che inspectors, instead of the
states.
Congress is also to be asked for an
annual classified census of livestock.
The present system is of considerable
value. but Is minimizad by the delay in
its publication. Livestock conditions. Ct
win be shown change every ninety
days or So and this industry should
nave f-le Sd tlat ctll a s-fr ifL 1LLlff~
asS va Ie. the stO K grove say. There
is a system now by which the number
Of bushels OF corn and wheat to be pro-
duced is announced almost before il is
harvested and il prevents 10 some de
gree a manipulation of the market.
That the livestock market can be man
ipulated unless the stOckmen know
where they stand will be one Of the
arguments used in furtherance Of this
petition TO congress. The SJOCkmen
want the census taken accurately and
published Immediately.
The convention delegates viii also
have something to say concerning the
reguIa lion of the manufacture OF
shoddy goods. In eastern factories. as
Jim Leary says, where they make wool
while YOU wait" il is claimed that a
mixture of cotton and wool. about half
and half, is often turned out as an
WOOL and the sheep industry IS in
iured to that extent. They want the
government to look into this matter and
prescribe some remedy
