THE IDAHO WOOL GROWERS
HAVE CONE AND GONE

Growers association held in Caldwell
Monday and Tuesday of this week,
was a most representative gathering
OF men, and we believe a most inter
estlng and profitable meeting. The
attendance was not as large as Ms.
ual, owing to the extreme cold wealth.
er that fell over the state at the time.
The program was carried out to the
letter with the exception OF the Sat
urday afternoon meeting. This
meeting was not held, owing to the
late arrival of trains and the az.
senco OF a great many members of
the association. The members start
ed to arrive Friday and kept on ar
irving until Tuesday. The last dele.
cation to arrive was from north Ida
no and consisted of Hon. B. F. O'Neil,
Hon. AL. Filson and some other stall
wart sheepmen from Wallace and
neighboring cities.
Sunday afternoon the association
advisory boards held a meeting at
the Commercial Club rooms. Dur
ing the year past local wool grow
ers association has been organized in
each of the Idaho forest reserves, for
the purpose of cooperation between
the wool growers and the forest re.
serve officials. Each of these local
associations has an advisory board
of five members, and the meeting
Sunday was a meeting of all the adj
visory boards of the state. The meet
ing was called to order by Fred Good
ing, president of the National Wool
Growers association. Sam Ballan-
tyne, Secretary of the Idaho Wool
Growers association, acted as secre
tary of the meeting. After much dis
discussion committee consist
ing of one member of each advisory
board was appointed to meet with the
forestry reserve officials. The COM

Following is the report of the com
mittee on recommendations which
was submitted Tuesday:
We, your committee on recommen-
dations, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing: We recommend that max
imum reduction of 20 per cent be
made on all sheep sold and trans
ferred in the national FORESTS, where
the improved ranch properties that
have been used in connection with
the handling of the sheep do not ae-
company the sale, and maximum
reduction of 10 per cent be made
where the lands and ranch holdings
uoed in the connection with the sheep
arc also transferred. The reduction
shall obtain only in tho event that
there are class A men to be taken
care of either as beginners, or as be
glnners being raised to the protective
limit.
That maximum limit and protec.
tive limit shall be established ON each
national forest by the joint recon-.
mondation of the advisory boards and
the supervisors or their respective
forests, in accordance with conditions
obtaining on their forest,
Believing that hve-yoar permits
not interrupted. by any reduction
whatever will give stability to our IN
dustry and will greatly encourage the
users of the national forests to IN
crease the carrying capacity and ut
ity thereof, by the seeding and plant
my of various grasses, we therefore
recommend that fve-year permits be
granted on such forests as the users
thereof and the supervisor consider
conditions warrant
That as far ms possible all forest
officers appointed shall have practical
knowledge of tho range and the
classes of stock ranging on their re-
spective districts and that no forest
officer shall be empowered to change
the boundaries of any allotment
without first having consulted the SUI
pervisor and advisory board.
