hoped to be the criterion Of many
similar actions over the State is the
recent organization in Garrett county
of Sheep GroHers' Association.
In order to put this waning industry
back into the pfzcs where Il belongs,
some effective measures must be
taken to control the vagrant dogs. to
purchase comparatively better stock,
and to lend more encouragement gem
orally than the sheep growing indus
try has heretofore met with.
This Association hopes to meet
these needs In various ways, and has,
among other things, addressed and cir
culatsd a petition addressed to the
next meeting Of the State Legislature
for the passage OF Statewide DOG
Law, similar to the one now in force
in Alezany county.

now organized, Win consist OF local
sheep clubs in the several districts OF
tha county, and these WIN be affiliated
with the County Association. Repre-.
