The Coconino sun., 1927-07-15

has been through his diligence and the
work of your executive committee
which at all times has given gratui-
tous service and hearty cooperation.
Lt.-Col. Harry B. Enbach, secre-
tary- treasurer, in his annual report
took up various phases of the associa-
tion's constructive work
The u. S. interior department was
induced to designate Buckhorn
Springs, northwest of Wickenburg, as
a public watering place. This will
probably end the controversies that
have arisen in the past between diff
ferent interests.
"In general the segregation Of cat
tie and sheep ranges seems to be
working out fairly well, and fencing
is progressing at a rapid rate. How
ever, there has been considerable COM
plaint about sheep entering excluded
areas. In practically all cases the
supervisors have been very lenient in
the matter, but this cannot continue.
Such infractions if persisted in will
only result in tighter restrictions and
possibly in some cases cut in prefer
ences.
During the winter the board of di-
rectors authorized the secretary and
president to borrow money from varl-
Gus local banks and also from the Fed
eral Intermediate Credit bank, to take
care of advances on wool if any mem
Der cared to ship to the National Wool
Exchange or wanted the association
to market his WOOL No one availed
himself of this service
ssYou have all the machinery neces-
sary to handle our Wools comparatively
without any expense except for the
actual sales end of the business. Why
not come out of it and start getting
busy on the proposition of getting all
your wool is worth. Every winter
there are number of buyers here
from Boston, and they are all good
fellows. We like them and are glad
to see them come, but did you ever
stoD to realize that it costs close on
to $4,000 month to keep them here
and they are here on an average of
three months each year. This has to
come out of your wool, in addition to
the commission charges on the busi-
ness end"
