this change of the law must be made
at this session. Year in and year out
You and have been besought by men
interested in stock growing to permit
the fences to stay mp for another six
months or another year. on the ground
of the great damage certain to be done
by taking them down. Many of the
men making these requests are entirely
honest men. whose requests it would be
in the interest of the community te
grant were it legally possible to do so
Though this, of course. does not apply
to some OF those making the requestsl /;
but it is quite impossible permanently
to permit such an arrangement. There
must be some adequate provision OF
law il there is to be any solution OF
this problem, and in default Of this pro
vision the present faulty law must b.
enforced. You are perfectly at liberty
to show this letter to any and all Sem
ators whose con nstiutents are chiefly
concerned IN this matter.

location II was necessary to irrigate
It twice with garden hose at an ex'
pense OF $3.50 for water and rent of

The cultivation was shallow and

This is contrary to the fact. The
