Trrsnny is but a mild term to apply to
rinchofs outrageous policies towards the

had been correct that the grazing of sheep
In the forest reserves was a great detriment

Plnrhot thought of conservation. It had
heen demonstrated In th West that the
grazing- of sheep In the forests was their

Discussing; tha subject of protection.
Mr. Good! n: declared ths people of ths
United M tales should protect the sheep
Industry first, because the Industry
could not survive in this country with
out protection, and. secondly." the
American farmer needs the sheep In
dustry to keep up the fertility of his
sclL He referred to the fact that the
wools-rowers of America employed
about 110.00 laborers who received In
-eases approximately 10.000,00 an
nually. In the last year. II new
states were added to tha membership of
the organization, the increase In mem
bership for tha year being 140 per
cent.

Mr. Gooding emphatically denied that
the sheepowner was responsible for the
1.1 Eta cost of woolen goods. Taking
the suit of clothes be m wearing;
as an Illustration, the speaker said the
rest to him was J0. The suit con
tained IS yards, weighed four pounds
and required exactly is pounds of
wool in tbe grease for the manufacture
of the cloth. At 14 rents a pound, tha
average price nald for wool In the
last two years, the a-rower who pro
duced tbe wool received only II.SS for
furnishing; all of the wool required
to make the suit.
The total cost of the wool and Its
manufacture Info cloth for the suit
was 17. Ths other 111. declared Mr.

merchant and the tailor for distributing;
the cloth and making it Into a suit of
