and formulate law that will consist

the farmer and the stock grower.

this section of the resolutions said
that it was not desired to condemn a
herd law, but that the present pro-

inimical to the interests of the stock
grower. He said that he felt that a
better law could be proposed so that
the interests of both sides would be
properly taken care of without injury
to either. ]. P. Farmer talked along
the same line.
