Your president has called the atten-
| ton Of members heretofore to the fact
| that our industry is in the thrOes of
| an evolution which is working many
| changes In old established methods OF
| conducting the business of sheep and
| wool growing. New conditions are arts
| ing that vitality affect every one en- .
| gagged In the industry. II is an age Of
combination and union. Individually
we can do but little to guide on con /.
troll the mighty influences now at work
either for the veal or woe of those on
| gagged In the industry, but collectively
| there Is much that can be done. For
this reason every man connected with
| the industry Is vitality interested in this
meeting, and, II necessary, sacrifices
should be made to secure fun repre- o.
| sentaton from the various states and
territories and the various branches of
the industry. There are still some or
CARNATIONS and individuals in the in
dustry who have not identified them
selves with the national organization
II Is earnestly hoped for the good OF
all that these will become members
and be represented at the meeting.
They will not only assist in the work To
be done but VIII gain much in an edu.
cational way that will more than offset
the expense and trouble OF the Jour
ney,
