Enos Bennion left yesterday after
noon for Nernal where he will report
the results of his Salt Lake trip to the
wool growers of that section. Before
leaving he expressed himself freely on
the need of cooperative action in Utah.

present movement would grow each
year, and would become a permanent
institution.
We don't know how to prepare our
wool for market" he said. land the
association would help us to find out.
Certain districts have a certain reput-
alton and prices range on this reputa
ton as much as on the quality. For
instance If we bring in a wet. dirty
clip full of sand mixed in quality,
1t has no more chance of bringing a
good price than has a thoroughbred
horse if half starved and shaggy with
long hair. A little grooming and a
little fattening will often make a big
difference in the possible sale price,
and we in Utah ought to keep togeth
er. now that a movement has started,
till we are able to devise ways of max
ing our wool most attractive and Of
finding the best market each season"
At the wool growers association this
morning II was given out that in spite
of many rumors started by the buyers
that ii was not succeeding IL was in
fact i'm the best condition II had ever
been i'm to secure wool for storage. and
all sheep men had heard otherwise
were urged to call and talk things over
before deciding what to do in disposing
of their wool. With the 200, 900 secur-
ed today total of about 1000, 900
pounds has been secured. which Is
about a tenth of the clip.

localities where there are foreigners
among whom local churches desire
to carry ON Christian work. Ii will also
endeaVor to be bureau of education

pare. such literature in the various for

supply to those doing work among for
eigncrs i'm the various parts of the

Good Judges.

Americans as judges are keenly dis
eliminating. They measure every
thing by the success it attains, which
method, considered in the light of the
common experience of mankind, is GER
tainly not a bad one. The high stan
dard of intelligence and discemment in
this country, where education is the
rule and not the exception, renders ii
difficult and surprising to find a gen
eral national success not based on &C
tual worth. Hence it was that with
the presentation of st. Jacobs Oil they
correctly judged it at once, and de
cided that rare intrinsic worth only
could be the source of it's success
The decision with them was equivalent
to an adoption and it is rare thinl
to find a family without st. Jacobs
Oil in the house.

1t Is a matter Of common observation
that grass does not grow so well close
to trees as In the open. The same Is
true of grains. Experiments In Eng
land and In this country have shown
that the deleterious effects OF the near
neighborhood Of grass and trees ar
mutual The trees suffer as well Al
the grass and grain. This is especially
true of fruit trees. The cause Is as
cribed to the excretion by the trees
on the one hand, of substances poison
Gus to the grass, and by the grass, on
The other hand, of substances poison
Gus to the trees. 1t thus appears that
the failure of grass to grow well near
trees should not be ascribed to too
much shade, nor to the exhaustion by
the tree roots of the food supply need
