Resolution by Morse
When the resolution by Mr.. Morse on
wool selling was presented. 1t was ex-
planned that he is one Of the most sue
cessful sheep mer of Beaverhead county
and always obtains favorable prices. 1t
had been previously emphasized that the
grower who sells for less than the value
OF the o helps to create a low market
which affects all growers, affects buyers
who do not wish to buy below fair value
and affects manufacturers, who are in
turmoil because OF the uncertain market.
state association Sci III weekly reports
during the shearing season to inform
growers on market conditions.
Relative to the 1914 cent price for

be fully understood that the owner of
the sheep is to be the sole Judge as to

Approval is given in another resolu-

Another resolution asks that the state
fish and game commission be empowered
to control the size of the Sun river elk
herd by permitting hunters each year to
kill the surplus, the season to be closed
when the herd has been reduced to its
normal number. This resolution also
provides that the Montana Wool Grow

opposition to the extension OF game pre-

other public lands"
Better feeding facilities for livestock
