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
Now England Wool Growers AsSOcla-
ton. and as we have been able to OBJ
tain. a membership Of nearly 1000 In
that association, il affords excellent
testimony as 20 the possibility OF SIM

NEEDED.

hesitated 20 canvass for members IN
a state where a wool growers assocla-
ton exists even though It may not
have had meetings for several years,

unless conducted through its own Or
ganizatiou II is recommended, there
fore. that the constitution of our assoc
citation be so broadened as 90 include
an members OF existing state wool
growers associations ana 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-
nal wool growers % the officers OF the
national association. and that the per-
sonnel of the National Wool Growers
Association Exclude direct members

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 In all parts Of the United States,

this association can be secured In a
