Fenn of the forest grazing department have returned from Salt Lake, where during the past few days, the have held conferences will the wool groweis of the state relative to grazing privileges. Mr. Fenn states that the conference was satisfactory In ever3' particular and that It plainly demonstrated that the differences between the sheepmen and the foresters will be of little consequence con-sequence this season. Disagreements and dissatisfaction among the flock-masters flock-masters have been minimized through conference. The big sheep man and the little one have learned to think better of each other, Mr. Fenn says, since they learned that the basis of allotments as enforced by tho foresters Js equi'able In all respects The large herds will not be permitted to take complete possession of the ranges and drive the Ittle fellow out of the country. The entire grazing theory of the government was gone over with the sheepmen at the conference and they were made familiar with every detail and given to understand that the entire en-tire forest sen ice Is devoted to the welfare of tho grazing sections of the country, having in mind at all times the Idea that no partiality shall be shown. Good suggestions offoied by sheepmen in relation to the manner of handling the ranges were readily accepted by the foresters and a promise prom-ise given that their suggestions would be incorporated in the rule book. The sheepmen in the conference were members of the State Wool Growers' association and the advlsorv board of the Utah Wool Growers' organization.
