ciated by those who heard 1t.

last year in the pooling of wool were
discussed and it was believed that
only a very limited length of. time
will be allowed this year in which to
bring the wool; in to the association
for shipment Warehouse plans were
also discussed as we'll as several mat
tiers of opinion in raising and handl-
ing sheep. Every member present
derived fund of knowledge from the
benefits of the others experience
which will aid in bringing about q
cooperative association which has a
thorough knowledge or sheep raising.
The advantages of thoroughbreds
over mixed breeds were also discus
sed to the, end that nearly every
member agreed that the raising of
thoroughbreds was by far the best.
The association are urging very
strongly. the establishment of live
stock sales and exhibit pavilion for
this district which would comprise
territory as far south as Brainerd, as
far east as Grand Rapids, west to
Fosston and north to the Information

cover this extent of territory they
are DESTROYS of having a building to
cover the county, but feel it should
cover larger field. T.; -.. ~
