ton with Metealf The main topic of
discussion was the need for better
protection for both sheep and cattle

mittees were appointed at the meet
ing to consider the subject. the first

aotment Of q law to provide for a
plan under which wool brands and
earmarks for sheep would be regis
tered at central state bureau that
each individual sheep outfit be allowed
10 record but two earmarks. one for
weather and one for ewes. and one
key WOOL brand, marks to distinguish
the different floeks on the same out
lit being permissible II was also
recommended that a law be passed
that all sheep outfits that wintered,
but did not summer, in Nevada should
be inspected by estray pnllers before
leaving the state, and that all local
outfits be inspected by estrays at least
once before the sheep were sheared.
IL was asked that the state board OF
sheep commissioners have charge of
the administration of the law should
it be passed
The committee of eattlemen urged
the discontinuanee of the present plan
or recording brands by counties and
substituting a plan whereby the reg
istration would be done with a central
state bureau. They also urged the H.
censing of all retail meat dealers and
that provisions be made for strict in
spection of hides and brands.
A resolution was passed by the as
sociation to the effect that the associa-
tion stood ready 10 cooperate with
the United States biological survey
