MESSAGE FROM THE PRESl-
DENT TO THE SockMEN.
albuquerque, N. M, Jan. 81.
To all who are interested in the well
fare of the sheep industry in New
Mexico:
Gentlemen:- The Secretary and
several members of the executive com
mittee of the New Mexico Wool Grow
ers Association have but recently re-
turned from attending a convention
of the National Wool Growers Asso-
citation held in Salt Lake City, Utah,
and a convention of the American
National Live Stock Association held
in Denver, Colo.
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, Forester and
member of the Land Commission of
the United States, was present at
both of these conventions and deliv-
the stockmen of the West. The mes
sage was to the effect that the gov
eminent control of the public domain
for grazing Or other purposes was a
.Ixed policy of his administration, and
that the President would do all he
could towards that end, and indirect
ly an invitation was extended to the
stockmen of the West to assist in
framing a bill which would best meet
with the demands of all concerned.
A resolution was adopted by the
National Wool Growers Association
III S1AS LIE oIuCh vi NhS- o-Ait~u
States to appoint a commission of
live stock men, representative of the
grazing interests which will be at
fected by the proposed legislation,
which said commission shall be auth
orized to confer and act with the pre-
sent government land commission
with a view to suggesting and formu-
lating such amendments to said pro-
posed law as nay De deemed wise
and proper, and for the best interests
of those concerned. This committee
will undoubtedly soon be appointed.
The Secretary of the e Mexico
Wool Growers Association had sew
eral conferences with Mr.. Pinchot
and Mr.. Potter, his assistant, n
with officers of the Bureau of Animal
Industry. The rates for grazing in for
est ser in New Mexico were dis
cussed and are fixed at lower rates
rates than in forest reserves in any
other state or territory. This is on
account of the grazing districts in
Reserves in this territory. A number
Vi I1oIIt4o vi SiSHt 49,
sheep of New Mexico were
discussed n policies determined on
as well as some concessions granted.
Every sheep man in the Territory
grazing a sheep On or off of the Pub
lie domain is vitality interested in this
question of government control of
range and what shall De in the bill
to be passed. The contents of that
bill may make or break you. To get
what you want in that bill must be
lone through united action. 1t is not
probable you can accomplish anything
alone You must get organized n
thoroughly organized. Each and every
sheep grower, merchant or balke in
terested in the welfare of the sheep
growing industry should become a
member of the New Mexico Wool
Growers Association let the AS
ISOLATION know what provisions
should be put in that bill to meet your
needs. Do not stand off and let some
one else attend to your business INT
fad when the bill is passed that there
are requirements in the act that will
prevent you from continuing in bust
ness or take away practically all your
profits. If you are not interested in
this matter then you are not interest
ed in your own business. To be able to
do business with any Committee that
may be appointed, the New Mexico
Wool Growers Association must have
all the sheep growers behind the AS
ISOLATION, they must be members of
the Association. The Association with
only two or three hundred members
cannot go before that Committee and
state that it represents the sheep
growers of New Mexico who number
several thousand.
There is nothing, there can be moth
ing, that is of so much Importance
to you as this range control easur
It is of far greater Importance THAI
