FOR CENTRAL STORAGE POINT.


At Denver, after the most impor
tant meeting of Western wool grow
ever held, the executive committee of
the National Wool Growers Associa-
ton decided that the present methods
of marketing wool did not have sin
gle defender; that great corporation
be organized with the amount of stock
each grower may take limited to the
size of his clip, estimated at one cen
per pound, and that a central storag
and market city be designated by
special committee, to be appointed b
President Fred w Gooding, including
himself to act in conjunction with
commissioners from thirteen Western
states, which will visit all competing
cities, after which it will have power
within itself to choose the city, form
the corporation, and make arrange
ments to store next years Western
clip. In the standing vote, which was
unanimous, there were represented 49,
100000 pounds of wool personally
owned, and organizations controlling
1OO,OOO,OO0 pounds, a third of the
American crop.
The committee appointed is COM
posed of Edward H. Calister, Utah; W..
Scott Anderson, Boise, Idaho; Thorn
as Austin, Salt Lake; J. e. Cosgriff,
Rawlins, Wyo.; w. B. Sleeper, Cody,
Wyo.; and President Gooding, Wyom-
ing, together with commissioners from
the states of Oregon, Washington,
Utah, Idaho. California, Arizona, Mon
tana New Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada,
This body will visit Denver, Omaha,
Texas, Colorado and South Dakota.
ST. Joseph, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Mil
waukee and Chicago for the purpose
of determining which city offers the
greatest advantages to the wool grow
ers of the Western states. Their trip
will probably begin October IA.

PURE BRED SHEEP ON NATIONAL
FOREST RANGES.

Many sheep breeders, especially
those of the east, will be surprised to
learn that pure bred registered sheep
may be raised and run on the open
ranges of the west in large bands
without any diminution in the grade or
quality of the product, as compared
to the parent dams and sires with
which the flocks were started. The
first requisite, however, is that an en-
tirely satisfactory range, properly pro-
tected from the intrusion of other
flocks and upon which there is certain
to be the necessary amount of forage,
water etc., must be assured.
Fencing the range to protect sheep
from the attacks Of predatory animals
has met with excellent results in the
Wallowa National Forest, Oregon. The
problem was to find strong fence
that would make the sheep secure,
even without the care of a herder.
The chosen fence, which is built of
woven wire, with barbed wire on top
has kept out all the minor animals,
such as wildcats, lynxes and coyotes,
but has not withstood the attacks of
the grizzlies, which are apparently
able to pass through it with little trou-

BILE, no less than six large grizzlies
being killed this season.
Sheep numbering 1900 were placed
in the enclosure with their lambs on
June 20 and have been allowed to
Craze at their free will with no atten-
ton whatever from any herder. They
have done splendidly, and as far as the
observation of those in charge of the
experiment goes, given area grazed
by sheep under such conditions will
carry more sheep per acre than one
grazed under the charge of a herder
The results of this experiment are
so satisfactory thus far that private
individuals are profiting by it.
A noteworthy example of what can
be accomplished in breeding high
grade sheep on properly controlled
