Plans for Next Year.
Next year it is planned to make the
roundups even more important and more
attractive. Through a plan tentatively
adopted by the conference of western
agricultural colleges here yesterday, a
circuit for roundup speakers will be
established among the intermountain
colleges. BY sharing the expense and
arranging the dates of lectures consecu-
lively, it will be possible TO have the
foremost agricultural experts in the
world lecture at the Utah and other
western states roundups,
The meetings yesterday were devoted
to the horsemcn. One of the most i'm"
portant actions taken was the appoint
ment of committee of three to lobby
at the next session of the legislature
for an amendment to the state stallion
law which will make it more effective.
James Devine Of Salt Lake opened a
discussion on this subject, in which he
declared that the law was almost a
dead letter, and that this was because
there was no proper means of enforce
ment. He said he believed it ought to
be made the duty OF the county sheriffs
TO enforce this law.
Other Comments Made.
Professor John L. Caine III, State
Senator w. S. Hansen of Colllnston and
Dr. j.. Fl. Frederick, the college vetel-
marian, also commented upon the law
Professor Cainc said he believed the APP
pointment OF u committee as suggested
by Mr. Devlne was good thing, but
added that much good had already been
accomplished with the present and the
old laws. DR.. Frederick declared that If
there were stallion owners who were dis
oboying the law, it was the fault of the
farmers, because they had not reported
tho cases TO the state board, of which
Dr. Frederick is a member. He said that
not Il single complaint had come to tho
board and that whenever complaints did
come they would be investigated and
acted upon
4 committee consisting of j, X. Allen
of Draper, james pevine of Salt Lake
and Thomas Smith OF Logan. was ap.
DOlNtcu TO urge INC proper ducHumenI
of tho present stallion law before the
next legislature, State Senator w 5.
Hansen pledged his support and assist
ance TO the committee.
j. r. Allen of Draper gave some in
teresting instruc tions on the Raising
of Draft Horses Mr., Allen is a
successful horseman and also a promi-
nent sheepman. During the course of
his remarks be attacked the stand taken
by j. r. Murdock of Heber City at
the roundup Thursday. He said that
the Democrats had not hurt the sheep
business and that he believed the busi-
ness would he better off today if the
tariff had been removed five years ago.
He said he had offered TO buy out some
of the complaining sheepmep, but that
they did not want to sell. He said
that when they did offer to sell it was
at very high price, despite the calam
ity they foresaw, "Anything I've got
is for sale If | can get a good enough
price," said Mr.. Allen.
