Gwlnn, Secretary of Woolgrow era' Association, Thinks Sheep Raisers Should Comply Strictly With Instructions. Tho attention of sheep men Is call ed to a recent ruling of tho depart ment of agriculture, bureau of animal Industry. The ruling and corres ponding instructions arc Issued from the office of George Hickox, secreta ry, Salt Lake City. J. H. Gwlnn, secretary "f ,ne County and State Woolgrowers" Asso ciations, Is very anxious that tho sheep raisers comply strictly with the Instructions for tho double rea son of the reputation of the sheep belt being conserved by compliance, and tho Interests of the Individual grow ers being equally If not more at stake. Non-compliance with tho instructions Is liable to prove extremely expensive withal. Thcso Instructions arc Issued di rectly to tho Inspectors, and when It comos to enforcing compliance with them and of enforcing the penalities for violation the Inspectors of course havo no choice. The following are quotations from the instructions: "No attention should be pnld to dip ping of sheep m less superintended by federal inspectors, and should such sheep bo offered for shipment no cer tificate can bo issued unless nt least 21 days have elapsed from date of last shipment. The dipping must bo once for Immediate slaughter; if for feeding In ynrds or on the rango twice, within 10 days Intervening." In other words, If a sheopownor dips on his own responsibility he must wait 21 days before he can ship nnd before shipment the animals must be Inspected by the government Inspector. The further Interpretation being that If a sheepowner wishes to alii t)- immediately he must of neces sity have the sheep dipped by tho government inspector, because In that ovent It Is impossible for 21 days to elapse at the end of which time tho government official Inspects. Dr. M. S. Lantz. the government veterinarian Inspector nt this place, is anxious that the requirements of the department he observed as closely as poslble voluntarily, and Mr. Gwlnn feels about the matter Just the same as Dr. Lantz. Tho attention of the pa pcrs throughout the sheep district Is called to this subject. JOURNAL'S PRESS ARRIVES Two Fifty-ton Cars Necessary to Haul the Great Load. Portland, April 14.
