WOOL GROWERS PLAN
FOR NATIONAL BODY
Conferences With Officials of Agri-
cultural Department Con-
tinue Today.

Sheep men from all over the United
States continued their conference with
the officials of the Agricultural Depart
ment at the New National Museum to-
day. What the department wants, ac-
cording to George Rommel, chef of the
division of animal husbandry. who is
also the chairman of the meeting, is to
organize the wool growers of the coun-
try somewhat on the lines that the
citrus fruit growers are now organized
in California
The wool trade Of the United States,
according to the sheep raisers. is now
in about the same position that the
citrus fruit trade was twenty-five years
ago. The wool clipped amounts annual
ly to about 100000. 1t is very much
smaller than the cotton ton oo er o which
capable of great expansion. and the
wool growers say is in great need OF
closer organization. 1t is different from
the citrus fruit industry in that it is
scattered all over the United States in
stead of being closely confined to .
single spot, as is the citrus fruit trade
There is now a good deal of organiza-
ton work done by the Boston Woo
Growers Trade Association, the Ma
tional Wool Storage Company of Chi
Cage, y. SoSSIih VI salt LANE AitS
and the Ohio State University.
The Department Of Agriculture aims
to bring these organizations closer to-
gether and coordinate their work, sc
that 1t will more or less resemble the
organizations now represented in the
cotton trade
The wool growers at their session to-
day outlined general plan of organi
| zation which would be agreeable to The
various interests. The session this aft
ernoon it is planned to devote to dis
| cussion of protecting the sheep from
predatory animals and from dogs II
| the more thickly settled states.

Rx REunEN A. LEMIs

Birmingham will win the 1914 Southern league pennant. A poll of the Southern league players, while not comprehensive, shows that a vast ma jority believe that Birmingham will win the pennant. The consensus of opinion is that the Barons are the most evenly balanced team in the Southern, while New Orleans strength lies in the pitching staff. Many feel that Atlanta is strong, but will be un- able to overcome the heavy handicap of an uphill fight.
 TWO managers whose clubs are hopelessly out of the running pick Bir- mingham to land the bunting. Harry Mccormick. the leader of the Lookouts. stated in Birmingham that the Barons were, in his opinion, the strongest club in the Southern. Schwartz thinks that the Barons have the best chance for the rag. Gilks, by virtue of having dis covered seven of the New orleans play CTS, is possessed with the opinion that New Orleans will win. Mike Finn re- fused to make statement. feeling that such would be indiscreet.
 The players are strong for Birming ham. An individual poll was taken among the Chattanooga and Memphis players. In all 26 voiced predictions. Of that number 21 were of the opinion that Birmingham would win; three fa~ vored Atlanta, and two New Orleans But two among the entire personnel ol the two clubs were unwilling to give opinions. Mickey Coyle and Carl Flick were the two close-mouthed individ- uals
 The Montgomery players were sound ed. Nine. including Captain Bill Elwert were possessed with the belief thai Birmingham would cop the halyard while two favored New orleans and one
