Day
ANNOUNCE WINNERS
NEXT SATURDAY

That the thirteenth annual poul-
try show by the Delaware Poultry
and Pigeon Association, which
opened this morning in the old City
Hall, Sixth and King streets. will
be the greatest ever held in Della
ware. Is evidenced by the large
number of entries and the great va
riety of pedigreed birds placed. Not
withstanding more than 500 entries
were refused the privilege of plac-
ing exhibits, more than 100 birds
will have been placed on show by
closing time tonight.
Even with the much larger show
fng floor space the management was
unable to accommodate the many
desiring TO place their pedigreed and
pet stock. AS II was found the cages
of the Delaware State Fair Associa-
ton would not accommodate those
desiring to enter birds. the manage
ment borrowed a large number OF
cases.
It was intended to open the show
at 10 o'clock this morning, but Il wac
found impossible to do so because Of
the last minute rush OF entries. The
show, however. will be opened to-
morrow morning by Mayor Harvey.
William L. Langshaw. Of Greenville,
of the leading show poultry breeders
Of the State. who has conducted sim
liar shows at Philadelphia and Tren-
ton, y. j., is in charge.
Breeders Of thoroughbred and pet
stock from New Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania. Maryland, North Carolina
and even New York, have placed
entries on the floors in competition
for the many prizes to be awarded.

GRAZING PERMITS TO BE
GIVEN FOR TEN YEARS

Beginning in 1925, 10-year permits
are to be granted to stockmen who
desire to Craze cattle and sheep on
ranges within the national forests, the
forest service, United States depart
ment of agriculture, announces. This
new policy, as approved by the secre-
tary of agriculture, exactly doubles
the maximum period for which graz
ing permits are now being issued.
The departments action was taken
from the standpoint of assisting the
livestock industry to further recover
from its depression of the last few
years, since, it is claimed by stock
men, grazing permits for 10 years in
stead of five, will make it less diff
cult to secure financial aid to carry
on livestock grazing operations.
The 10-year permits will be granted
for the full established preference of
permittees owning commensurate de-
pendent ranch property with the un-
derstanding that at the expiration OF
five years reductions in numbers not
to exceed 10 per cent, will be made
for the admission of new settlers or
increases to small owners now using
the national forest ranges.
Another condition is that reductions
in numbers for protective purposes
may be made during any year of the
permit period but that should the re
duction for protective purposes equal
or exceed 10 per cent reduction for
distribution purposes then no reduc-
ton will be made for the latter pur-
pose. REIMBURSEMENT of the grazing
fees, as we'll as other administrative
adjustments, such as changes in allot-
ment boundaries, will be made at the
end of the first five years of the 10
year permit. The forest service, how
ever, emphasizes the fact that all
adjustments will be kept at mini
mum during the term of the permit.
The new rates upon which grazing

fees are to be based, and which are
to be arrived at after appraisals of
the national forest ranges, will also
go into effect beginning in 1923. These
new grazing fee rates were to go into
effect during 1924, but action was
postponed so that the livestock indus
try would have time to partially re-
cover from the period of depression.
The new system of 10-year grazing
rates will go into effect at the same
time.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace in
statement concerning the decision to
grant 10-year grazing permits said
"At the conference of national forest
officers and representatives of the
livestock industry held in March at
Ogden, Utah, the discussion centered
around ways and means by which
greater stability in the use of national
forest ranges could be secured.
i at was the unanimous decision OF
the stockmen that more stability III
the livestock business would exist il
the forest service of the United States
department of agriculture issued 10
year grazing permits instead of being
limited to the 5-year permits now be-
ing granted.
"The department of agriculture
agrees with this argument, and, ir
keeping with its policy to give all pos
sible assistance to the agricultural IN.
dustry of the country, it has been de-
cided to issue 1O-year grazing permits
for the ranges within national forests
beginning with the year 1926.
"These permits will be subject, O
course, to such provisions that vii
amply safeguard the government II
securing surplus range at the end o.
five years for the admission of new
applicants or increases to small es
tablished permittees. They will bt
subject, also, to provisions relating tt
remedial measures in the event of ov
engraving, damage or reproduction OF
watersheds, or other violations Of for
est protection policies"

WOOL INDUSTRY DESCRIBED
AS MORE HAZARDOUS GAME
THAN POKER BY POLLOCK

After characterizing the wool indus
try as a more hazardous game than
poker, Tom Pollock of Flagstaff, head
of the Grand Canyon Sheep company
and prominent banker in Coconino
county, declared at the hearing held
before Examiner Faul of the inter-
state commerce commission in the
house chambers that with average
good times and all the assistance the
railroads could give them it would
take the sheep men five years to get
on their feet again.
Mr.. Pollock was the principal wit
ness for the Arizona Wool Growers
association at the hearing and his tes-
timony covered period of the wool
industry in the state for the past 20
wears. Other members of the associa-
ton also gave testimony which corro>
borated that given by Mr.. Pollock.
The hearing was one of a series
scheduled by the interstate commerce
commission to investigate the wool
situation in the west. The wool men
of the intermountain states are unanl-
nous in their contention for blanket
rate for the territory not to exceed
So on wool, in place of the varying
rates now effective.
The interstate commission last fall
ordered the rail companies, following
a hearing, to remove the violation OF
the fourth section of the transporta-
ton act by eliminating the longer
haul for a lower rate. The rail COM
panies complied by making blanket
rate of $2.70 for the intermountain
states and the coast states, west of a
line running through Flagstaff, north
and south. The Pacific Coast Traffic
association applied for suspension
of the rate which was granted, and
the series of hearings ordered.
The hearing was attended by many
of the prominent rail officials of the
west and by a number of the prom
inent sheep men of the state. The
hearing in Phoenix, one of series
held since April 26, began Monday

what the conference was supposed to
have been brought into life for:
However, there is pending at the
present time, the Colorado river COM
pact. 1t contains provisions upon
which the citizens of our state are di-
vided. We cannot consistently con-
tinue to maintain purely negative
attitude, but must adopt a positive
position in order that we may contrib
ute toward the solution, rather than
accept something by default.
II have, therefore, decided to ar
range some conferences to ascertain
the viewpoint of some of the citizens
of our state and to formulate plans
which will conserve to Arizona her
rights in the resources of the Colora-
do river. In order to lay the founda-
ton for this plan, | would appreciate
it if you could attend conference in
my office on Tuesday, May 9Th at 10
o'clock. Attached hereto is a list of
the gentlemen whom | have invited

for which / am calling you together

about the conference, therefore | am

letter confidentially."
