dorsc tho work and policies Of the A.

Adjustment Of Purebred Rnt~s
WHEREAS. Improvement Of the liva
stock Of the West Is directly depend-
cnt upon tn. more general employment
OF purcbrSd animals. and this Improves
ment. BY the use OF better sires. is not
only OF great Importance to the Stock
man. but to the carriers and the en-
tire country; and
WHEREAS. The rates charged by
tn" carriers for the transportation OF
one or more purebreds in less than cor
loads. or the shipment in carloads of
such animals, are frequently so high
and unreasonable as to prevent the
movement. either upon one line or over
two or more lines; therefore be IL

our officers to present this matter to
the carriers, with the request that the
rates Tor the transportation OF pure
bred animals be ABUSED on a fair and
reasonable basis

WHEREAS. Long experience in ef-
forts to control loss OF live stock from
predatory animals and loss of feed

definitely demonstrated that any meth
cd relying upon trapping is too slow
and too expensive. and
WHEREAS. Recent demonstrations
have shown that wholesale Destruction
OF these pests with poison bats can be
accomplished at greatly reduced ex-
pense: therefore be il
RESOLVED. that the Colorado Stock-
growers Association favors this whole
sale plan of destruction in an organ-
ized manner. with co-ordinated Vest
wide plan of cooperation between the
states and the United States BIoIoricaI
Survey: and urges adequate apprSp-i-
atoms from both the federal govern
ment and the states for this purpose
