WOOL growers' association. S99 



Indiana farmers generally is a doubtful question. Not more than one man in fifijr 

 has any she-^p, and the forty-nine are interested in getting goods cheaper while yoa 

 are benefiting one in fifty. 

 Convention adjourned.

Mr. Dungan, of the committee appointed to confer with the Committee ap- 

 pointed by the Legislature on Agriculture, to press the necessity of the enactment 

 of a more efficient dog law, reported that a conference w is had with the legislative 

 committee, and a very favorable expres.sion was had toward an improvement in the 

 dog law, and said they would do what they could to secure a more favorable dog. 

 law for us. 



It was moved that a sheep-shearing festival be held in the spring. 



3/r. MitchelL I think it would not be best to have a public shearing. There 

 seems to be a lack of interest among the avooI growers, probably it is not altogether 

 a lack of interest in the ar^sociation, but due to the cold weather. I fear we might 

 make a mistake and it would be best to let it go by this year. Motion lost.

Resolved, That when this association adjourns, it adjourn to meet on the last 

 Thursday in January, 1886.
