TEXAS MAN TALKS
LAMB CLUB MEET
COURT HOUSE, MAY q. SHEEP
MEN, GENERAL PUBLIC
INVITED

The Eat More Lamb" campaign
sponsored by the State Woo
Growers association will be ex
planned to sheepmen of Roosevelt
and McCone counties at a meeting
to be held at Wolf Point, Monday
May 4th. Producers, consumers
meat dealers, and others interest
ed in this subject are invited to
gather at the Court House, Wolf
point. at 1880 p. m. to hear Earl
Racey of San Angelo, Texas, ex-
plain his plan for increasing the
lamb consumption and prices.
The local committee urges that
every sheepman plan his work so
he can be away from the ranch
on the day of the meeting, as it is
very important that every produ-
Ger fully understand the plan to
advertise lamb meat and the meth
cd of increasing the demand for
feeder lambs.
Word comes from the State
Wool Growers office at Helena
that at every point the program
has been received with much en-
thusiasm and the sheepmen are
greatly pleased with the national
program of advertising that is be-
ing put on this year and will be
followed for several years. 1t is
the opinion of many that the
sheepmen are suffering from un-
der consumption rather than from
over production and any attempt
to increase the demand is justi-
fled.
The Eat More Lamb" program
Is for the benefit of the sheepmen
so every producer should make a
special effort to attend this meet
ing.
