Show LIVESTOCK WEEK AT THE IMP Logan, Feb. 1. This will be livestock live-stock week at the Farmers' roundup. It will open tomorrow with the annual an-nual convention of the Utah Dairymen's Dairy-men's associatiou, which will be held conjointly with the day's sessions of the roundup in the college chapel. Prominent dairymen and government dairy experts will address the dairymen dairy-men on many topics of interest to tho industry. During the week discussions discus-sions of teedlng hogs, cattlo, sheep, horses and other livestock will fill the program each day. The last three days of tho week, the first aunual conference of the heads of the western agricultural colleges col-leges will bo held. This will bo one of the most important features of the entire two weeks of the roundup. The agricultural colleges of Utah. Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, California, Montana, Oregon and Washington are expected to send representatives to this meeting. Dean W. S. Carlyle of the University of Idaho will preside as temporary chairman. chair-man. Permanent officers will be elected and a permanent organization effected. The a"11 of the organization will be to co-operate in extension and experimental work and to exchange experiences in all lines of agricultural college activities. Each college is to be represented by its president, its extension division director and Its experiment ex-periment station director. The western agricultural college leaders believe that they can accomplish accom-plish greater things by co-operation, especially in an experimental way. In the past it has often happened that, two or three or more western col-l leges have conducted the same series of experiments, which the experimnt station of on school could conduct an experiment, give the results to the other colleges and let the one experiment experi-ment be sufficient for the entire western west-ern territory, where conditions are often the same. The officers also feel that they do not get their proportionate pro-portionate share of funds for experiment experi-ment stations provided by congress and distributed through the department depart-ment of agriculture. The representation representa-tion in congress of eastern states is so much larger than western states that the college heads in the west believe that only by joining together and asking in unison for the things they want can they get the appropriations appro-priations they believe their work is entitled to. In his address before the Utah Development De-velopment lenguo, last Friday night, Governor Ellas AI. Ammous of Colorado Colo-rado expressed the stand of some of these heads of western agricultural collogcs as follows: "The federal government should pursue a very liberal lib-eral policy with the people of the west. If wo expect to build up this great empire out here we must have the proper help." At tho housekeepers' conference this week Airs.
