he traced the industry around through
Asiatic races of old into later Europe
and finally to America.
The United States produces only
half the wool we use, the speaker
said, giving statistics of production in
other leading wool countries. He con-
cludedsby asking cooperation in secur-
ling the passage through congress of
the "Truth in Fabrics" bill to prevent
the use of shoddy in cloth manufac-
ture except under truthful label as to
content of virgin wool.
Judge X. N. Sleeves of Williams
arose to indirectly comment on Har-
ry's talk, telling about a man who
pleaded guilty to murder but was dis
charged by the jury on the ground
that they couldn't believe a thing he
said.
After Bill Cady sang a verse about
certain home in Kentucky some
distance distant, the bunch swelling
the chorus, NJ. /. Powers, another
sheepman, also a cattleman and bank
er, was asked to illuminate some
more. Mr.. Powers said both cattle
and sheep conditions are lot worse
than Is to 20 years ago. Prices are
less, while expenses have gone uI
tremendously.
But the cattlemen are very hard
hit by production and marketing han
dicaps. The Arizona Central bank
represented by Mr.. Powers, has had
to take over some cattle outfits, but
no sheep outfits.
The best local offer this fall fol
steers has been four cents 9. pound
Sheepmen are facing extra high ex-
penses this winter, as southern ranges
have no feed and bulk feed will cost
twice as much as last year.
Mr. Powers believes, however, that
the cattlemen viii come back, espe-
cially as there is lots of money in the
country, savings bank deposits in the
United States having increased three
million dollars day during 1923. One
panacea for present depressed condi-
tions in both the cattle and the farm
ing industries, he said, would be re-
duction by. a million and a half of the
number of farms in the United States
thus relieving present oyerproduction.
Mr.. Powers concluded by calling at
tention to the present mirth-provok-
ing controversy between the locomo-
tive brotherhood and the union men
employed in the coal mines recently
bought from surplus funds. in the
treasury of the brotherhood. The
miners threatening to strike are In
formed by the brotherhood that it
cannot afford to increase the pay.
Forest Supervisor E. G. Miller
spoke of the livestock industry in its
relation to the national forests. There
are 10000 sheep and 10000 cattle
grazing all or part of the year in
the Coconino forest. The problem is
to so handle the forest that it will
give maximum production Of both
trees and grass, providing that
neither prospers at the expense of the
other. He said that stockn1en gem
orally are cooperating willingly and
generously with the forest service.
even though it has meant and stiH
to some extent must involve reduc-
tion of the number Of livestock per-
nitted to Craze in the forest.
Judge Sleeves had brought a box
of cigars. He announced that if any
