made the longer the period.

No start toward cooperative market
ing should be made unless at least
| 100000 pounds of wool a year is
pooled; because overhead is as high
on a great as on lesser amount, and
that quantity is the lawest minimum
at which the wool pool can profitably
be operated, considering overhead.
It had been recommended that the
wool be warehoused in Phoenix or
Flagstaff. This Mr.. Hagenbarth adj
vised against, because it is usually
dry in these points following clip;
while wool gathers weight, ordinarily,
in shipment to a Boston or Pacific
coast warehouse. This gain in the
case Of Mr.. Hagenbarth's own wool
often amounts to as much as. 8 per
cent. He advised shipment to Los
Angeles, feeling that the present
wooden mills there will be further aug
mented until before long there will be
enough of them to take care of 10 to
Is million pounds Of wool annually;
also because if the wool does have to
be shipped east it can be routed from
California through the canal at low
ocean freight rates and gain weight
in transit.
Mr.. Hagenbarth said warehousing
and personnel will be easy to handle
and he had information he would
make available to the committee. He
said he was glad the association had
not earlier decided to pool WOOL be-
cause up until now some of the big
gest growers, Colin Campbell for one,

he believes, with the willingness to
cooperate of Mr. Campbell and others
who had previously held out, the
pooling can be made a big success.
j. L. Halman talked along much
the same lines, assuring the grow
ers that they are at last on the right
track and their move if carried out
viii result in much better prices and
greater prosperity to the industry.
Resolutions Adopted
Dan w. Campbell, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, read the re-
solutions formulated and they were
adopted, in brief as follows:
1. Appreciation to the city of Flag
staff for the welcome to- members and
guests, making our meeting one of
the best we have had.
2. Appreciation to President L. B.
McMullen and the Normal school for
their part in the entertainment for
members and guests.
3. Endorsement of the determined
stand and efficient cooperative act
ivities of the Arizona commission of
agriculture and horticulture and the
office Of the state entomologist IN
their efforts under the provisions of
the Arizona pest law, to prevent the
invasion, establishment and spread in
this state of the well known great ec-
onomical pests and diseases which
have proved SO destructive to the agrf-
cultural world.
d. Approval of the present system
and management in the destruction Of
predatory animals by the predatory
animal division of the biological sur
vey under the supervision of Mr.. MuE-
grave. However, we suggest that
more work be done on the summer
ranges before the sheep reach them in
the spring, on the driveways, both in
spring and fall, and on the winter
ranges, while the sheep are on the
driveways; and that the most exped-
lent and least costly manner of ex-
terminating coyotes and other pred
atory animals be used along the drive~
ways, and on the ranges under the
supervision of competent men, and
with the cooperation OF the wool grow
ers.
5. Thanks and appreciation to the
American Wooden mills and W. M.
LaMont, agent of the Wool Worsted
mill, for their courtesy and thought
fulness in furnishing the association
with a splendid and comprehensive
wool exhibit.
6. Endorsement of the work of the
Arizona Industrial Congress and its
directors; and the hope that it may
continue to build up the great state
of Arizona.
Z. Approval of the WORK of the bio
logical survey in Arizona, and that
we petition representatives in cong
ress to secure larger appropriations
for this purpose, so that these very
serious menaces may be overcome.
s. Whereas, during the past ten
years the railroads have not only
directly raised the rates on livestock,
but have under the camouflage of
switching charges, car disinfecting,
car sanding, etc., made addition
al advances in rates, be it resolved
that in the line with the sense of
joint congressional resolution Number
107, we demand that livestock rates
be reduced to the pre-war level.
8. Whereas: Congress passed a
most excellent protective tariff law
placing a duty upon WOOL. meat, and
agricultural commodities in general,
under the operation of which the agri-
cultural and livestock interests of the
entire nation have been immensely
benefited with the result that pros
perity is beginning to return to these
interests, and its existence is being
reflected in the prosperity of the COM
munities in general; resolved: That
we are most deeply grateful to con-
gress for the enactment Of this meas
