COMMENDS UTAH
WOOL GROWERS
Walker Says This State Led in
Fight Against Reduction
of Wool Tariff.

That Utah has done the lions share in
fighting the proposed reduction of the
tariff on wool and has led ali other west
ern states in the contest is the opinion
of George S. Walker. secretary of the
National Wool Growers association.
In a letter to c. s. Stewart. secretary
Of the Utah Wool Growers association,
Mr.. Walker expresses his satisfaction over
the unity and enthusiasm with which the
Utah sheepmen organized to fight the
tariff reduction and the energy with which
they entered into the matter. He also
takes occasion to compliment Secretary
Stewart as being the leader and the main
factor in securing such splendid results
from Utah's wool growers. The letter in
part, says:
Il desire to compliment you and your
co-workers for the splendid manner in
which the Utah Wool Growers associa-
ton has handled the tariff and wool stOr-
age matters. The petitions. resolutions
and personal letters forwarded to the
ways and means committee from Utah
will unquestionably prove a valuable aid
in preventing a reduction in the present
tariff on wool and were the associations
of wool growers in other states as active
and the members as responsive and loyal,
there would be no question of the result
of this tariff discussion"
Secretary Stewart is anXiOUsly await
ing the arrival of A $. Erickson, the
Utah representative who led the fight be-
fore the ways and means committee
against the proposed wool tariff reduc-
ton. Mr.. Erickson and wife have left
Washington. as, the wool tariff hearings
have been finished. and are low en- route
to this city Mr.. Erickson will report
on the fight that the western sheepmen
made before the committee and the prob
able result of the hearings.
No fear is entertained by prominent
sheepmen in Utah that the wool tariff
will be reduced.
Reports received by Secretary Stewart
from sheepmen all over Utah show that
the flocks are in excellent condition and
that Utah sheep are reer from disease
of any kind than the sheep of any other
state in the entire west Sheep dipping
is now at an end in all parts of the state
and the orders of the state board of sheep
commissioners for the dipping of all sheep
except ewes have been readily and sat
isfactorily complied with
The snow in the hills on the forest
ranges assures plenty of grass and mois-
ture for the sheep next year and the win
ter ranges are better at this season than
they have been for years before. The
recent big snowstorm was boon to wool
growers and will rid them OF considerable
worry.

will be acceptable to both bodies. and
that there should he no special difficulty
