the members were for the merger, but the
officers and leaders were opposed to it
Another believed that the adoption Of
the bylaws recommending the change
Of name 10 the Panhandle and South

enlarge its scope.
Others say that the quarantine line,
the imaginary division line between the

a barrier TO the merging Of the asso-
Citations
Still another visitor to the convention,
leading member Of the Texas Cattle
Ra1sers' association. said that he be-
lleYed that the merger would 90

than half OF the members OF the Pan

bers OF the Cattle Raisers' association
ana were paying dues in each associa-
