MANY TRAPPED BY FO OPTIMISM REIGNS ' AMONG SHEEPMEN GATES TO) PROMINENT IN WOOLGROWERS CONVENTION DELE CONVENTION IN CITY WELCOMED All Sections of State Are Represented at Gathering Here. Tanned men whose great flocks of sheep range across Wyoming plains and moun- tains, swarmed in the hotel lobbies here eraly this morn- ing, renewing old acquaint. ances and gathering for the twenty- first annual convention of the Wy- oming Wool-growers association. The morning session which began at thé Elks auditorium somewhat later than scheduled, drew nearlya hundred of the early arrivals, Johnson, Campbell, Carbon, Lara- mie, Fremont and Natrona coun- ties’ Were well" represented in the advante contingent.

Wyoming. In his annual report, Byron Wil- son of McKinlsy, secretary of the association, told of the activities of the Organization during the | past year, including a statement of-finan- cial standing. The work of the Co-operative Marketing association, he described in the course of his report. This agency, he said, has this year handled cHps worth close to $1,- 125,000, against which ultimate value advances of nearly $250,000 have. been made to consignees. Wyoming is not as yet prepared for full participation in co-operative marketing, he declared, but will soon reach the point which the plan is generally endorsed because of losses that result from indiscrimt- nate and untimely sales of wools by the ‘ndividual grower. Mr. Wilson was particularly em phatic in pointing. out the poor Policy of selling wool in thé face of a declining market. He said: “When Iambs which are subject to rapid shrinkage and are perishable, are to be marketed we hold them if there is drop in prices.’ On the other hand, when woo! prices slump we throw our clips on the market and force prices still lower.’ Evidently much loss is resulting to sheepmen because of herds of wild horses loose on the ranges, according to the secretary. He suggested that some means be taken by the convention to reduce the numbers of wild horses, which are of little value, that roam the ranges and consume the feed. That the association should op- pose any increase in grazing fees or any attempt to lower tariffs pro- tective of wool, was advised by Mr. Wilson. Following the appointment of resolutions and finance committees, the “Grand Old Man’? of Wyoming woolgrowers, Dr. J. M. Wilson, who is president of the association, hand- ed his addres§ to his son who read it before the convention.
