Want the Wool Cars

albuquerque. FEB. l5.-Ihe plans
of the New Mexico Wool Growers
Association is to make their forth
coming convention in Albuquerque
educational in SO far as possible and
to this end they are now working
hard to secure for this state the use
of the Government Wool Cars to be
sent over the entire state, visiting
the principal wool producing centers
They hope to have these cars in
this state either the ten days be-
fore their convention in Albuquer-
que-March 20, 81 and 22-or the
ten days Immediately following.
The Government has outfitted two
large baggage cars with a complete
exhibition of wool of all classes and
in all stages Of manufacturing. from
the wool in the grease to the finest
worsted. Accompanying these cars
is a corps of experts in wool classi-
fication and manufacturing, who are
competent to point out to the prac-
tical wool producer the ends for
which his wool should be grown and
the factors that make for or against
the price of wool in the finished
product. A competent steroscopical
lecturer accompanies this outfit so
that the wool producing and manu-
featuring can be graphically and
minutely described
The secretary Of the Wool Grow
ers is at present arranging with the
department of Agriculture and the
Santa Fe railroad for the use of
these cars and for complete itincra-
ry throughout the state. As there
is strong demand for these wool
cars in the northwestern states and
the dates are filled far in advance
the New Mexico sheepmen realize
that they will have to wait their
turn. However, it is quite certain
that these cars can be obtained the
middle or latter part of March.
