WOOL GROWERSOF
STATE WILL MEET
DURING THE FAIR
official Call Is Being Prepared
by Officers; Other Conven-
lions 10 Be Held Here Same
Week.

The New Mexico Wool Growers as
ISOLATION will hold its meeting in AL
buquerque during the state fair in
october. This was the word re-
ceived today from President Abbotts
and confirmed by Secretary Chadwick
who is making ready the official call
for the meeting This l. hut one of
n number of conventions that will be
held In the city during the week of
the fair.
IL has been nearly two years since
the wool growers met and elected Of
ficers. At the last meeting, which
was held during the 1913 fair, only
about forty sheepmen attended the
sessions, although several hundred of
them were in the city for the fair.
The meeting this year will be held the
first day of the fair, and II Is believed
there will be a large attendance In
consequence.
The fair management will work
with the officers of the association to
secure a large number to attend the
meeting and the fair. Nearly 1900
letters will be sent out to the sheep
raisers of the state, inviting them TO
be present and outlining the excellent
program that will be presented at the
sessions.
Sheep Men win Learn Something.
This program will consist of speak
ers from various sections of the south
west who are familiar with the prob
lens which have TO be met In the
sheep ana wool business, and they will
discuss those problems for the benefit
of all the growers. The sessions prob
ally will be held in the Commercial
club unless il Is shown that the at
tendance will be too large for those
quarters. Monday, October IL, will be
the day for the transaction of. the Of
fetal business of the association.
The cattlemen win also be attracted
TO Albuquerque on business as well as
pleasure fair week, since Secretary
Harrell of the Southwestern Cattle
mems association will be in the city
with headquarters opened and ready
TO talk business with owners of cattle
who want protection and the benefits
of cooperation. At that time he will
go over the arrangements for the big
convention.
The fair office Is very mum with re-
gard to the contracts that are being
signed for fair attractions. II is stat
ed, however, that when the official
program is announced It win look like
zone week of solid madness" which is
taken to mean that there Will be
more than something doing every
minute. 1t was stated yesterday at
fair headquarters that the line-up of
attractions for the Iowa State fair
the Illinois State fair. the Nebraska
fair and the Oklahoma fair have been
received and that the New Mexico
State fair will give its patrons more
for the price Of admission than any OF.
these old and large state expositions
Better Than Illinois.
Ii is said that the New Mexico pro-
gram as contemplated is more extern
sive and varied than that of Illinois.
which means much in view of the fact
that the Illinois fair is declared to be
the largest state exposition of them
all
While the office is taking charge of
the amusement features, the exhibits
and educational features are not be-
ing neglected. Although it is early in
the game it is announced that the
fair is already assured of the most eX-
tensive agricultural exhibit ever seen
before in the state. In fact, ii is de-
cared that it will be many times as
large as The largest agricultural show
ever seen at a New Mexico fair. Pros
poets also point to a record breaking
show in every other department, as
they are all TO receive special atten-
ton and work.
The revising of the premium book is
under way. 1t is hoped to publish IL
by the middle of next month after
every section of the state has been
visited with the object of insuring ex-
hibts. Next week a meeting will be
held of stockmen for the purpose of
recommending changes in the classi-
ficatiapc and dana meute
