'Members of the Klamath Wool
Growers' association held a well
attended meeting at Merrill last
night.
Tho meeting was probably tho last
that will be held for some time, as
within a week or two the members
will bo driving their sheep into the
hills, and from thence on will be
too busy to attend. Affairs ot the
organization wero thoroughly gone
over, therefore, in order that tho
executive branches ot the association
might be informed on tho general
feeling of the membership on all
questions affecting the sheep indus

tho time from his own business un
less it is absolutely necessary.

The Farm Bureau livestock com
mittee has made arrangements --for
bringing Into Klamath county soma
ot the best Shorthorn cattle to be
found In the state. Part of thei'
animals will be sold at auction, 8at
4 u relay, March 13. Eighteen head of
registered Shorthorn calves war
4 bought and will come In wits tat
shipment. These calves have bef
placed by the coanty club leader fa.
connection with the club worL Jfr
J. FJeldsted, field agent la ' ttm
animal husbandry department Ore;
gon Agricultural college says the
following with reference to' these
calves:
"Mr. West- Tlsited the Shorthorn
section of eastern Oregon and pa
cured the cream of that part of the
state tor Klamath Falls.
I was indeed pleased with hi
opportunity of meeting Mr. Wast,
livestock project leader ot Klamath
County Farm Bureau, and assist aim
in a small way to select the cream
of the calves ot eastern Oregon, the .
section famed as the Shorthorn cen
ter ot the Pacific northwest. t
"Mr. West, selected 18 head of
calves at vfcry reasonable prices.
These calves could not haye been
purchased at the price paid by If r.
West except they were going to be
used for club purposes.' ' ' ";j
"There are ten females and eighth
bulls in the' selection and represent
the best bulls as sires in the aorta
west. Four buli calves, owned by'
Sherman &' Hutcnenson, are aired by
Radiator, a rich roan bull aired by
Radium, and he by Double Dale.
This bull has not been bowa, .but
has sired some of the finest Short
horns of the herd; a half-brother of f
this calf sold at eight months for '
$750 last year and went to O.'o.5
Hoga at Boise, Idaho. The pick; of J
these four bull calves is ' easily
worth J600. T
"The heifers secured from- Mr.
Townley are sired by Good Prospect,
Radium Dale, Mound's Good and
Violet King. Good Prosoect Is a.
rich roan bull, weighing In working
condition 2,360 pounds. He ia a
popular herd bull, and the only bull
that beat Hercules Duke this season
in "the show ring. Except at the
Union county livestock show, the
only place Good Proapect was shewn. x
Hercules Duke was grand caamatan
over the northwestern state mmJ
lnter-state fairs. Radium Dale waa
a fine white calf sired by Radiator
and is proving an excellent breeder.
He has not been shown. Moand'a
Good is a son ot Good Prospect,
whose record is related above. Vio
let KIngcwas an excellent calf-getter,
as the calves selected by Mr. Wast
will indicate.
"I feel that the Klamath County
clubs are extremely fortunate in ob- '
ta'ining this class of calves and -with
proper care any of them will grow
into animals that will be a credit, to
any county In tho Pacific north
west." These calves will be distributed
Just after tho sale. A list ot the
club members securing these wilt ha
published at that time. It Is the
plan for the club members to put
these calves back in a sale next year.
In this way the club members will
take a definite part in bringing pure
bred livestock Into Klamath county.
