(P) I Senators and representatives of the country's 17 sugar producing states were invited today by Representative Murdock Utah) to unite in a conference with department of agriculture officials in an effort to solve the problems of the Industry.

Murdock said his plan calls, for presentation of the industry's prob lems to the agriculture officials and if no results are obtained there, to go before President Roosevelt. He said Utah sugar growers and manufacturers, including Stephen Love, high official of the Utah-Idaho Sugcr company, now in Washington, have approved such action. "In my opinion the stabilization and marketing agreement offered to the AAA by the industry is the kind of a plan that should be adopted." the representative declared. He was discussing the substitute plan presented by the agriculture administration which, he said, "would make the secretary of agriculture an absolute dictator of the sugar beet industry." "The provisions for elimination of cross heuls and other unfair prac tices and the setting of quotas for existing chemical plants could, witn in eight days, begin to produce it in unlimited quantities. The gas Is given by a colorless liquod smelling faintly of celery.

The fumes attack not only the bronchial tubes and the eyes but the skin, even when dry. In this it differs from yperite which only operates when the skin is damp. It blisters the skin and poisons the tissues. A small quantity of the liquod placed on the skin of a large deg caused death within a few hours with all the symptoms of tissue poisioning. Masks, no matter how perfect, are useless against the gas, Professor Bert says, as it attacks the entire body.

It would be almost impossible to devise clothing so hermetically sealed as to prevent thi gas from seeping through at some point. hi Work i earns ins Fund To with synthetic perfumes.

Wilson asserted he -vas decisively opposed to the proposed state personal income tax, recommended in the five-point program submitted yesterday to Governor Miller by the special legislative committee, unless it should serve as an "offset" to the present tax burden. He touched upon other matters of serious concern to the large assembly of sheepmen in the course of his remarks.

Convention sessions are being held at the Elks hall. The afternoon session opened with a general discussion of current problems and association purposes. An address delineating the Casper-Alcova project and what it will do for this section of the state was scheduled on the afternoon program. The convention took an indirect hand in the situation arising from controversy over Johnson lake. Both Mrs.

Ivory, owner of land adjoining the stock trail and the reservoir, and Henry Johnson, owner of the water rights, claim rentals for stock watering prlveleges, it was pointed out by Marvin L. Bishop, jr, secretary of the association. He asked that the organization take some definite action with relation to the contro versy, so that woolgrowers in a quandary might know what to do. The sheepmen were divided in opinion, some stating that they trailed their herds past the reservoir without giving it any notice or using it, others asserting it was necessary to water their sheep there. The stock trail, it was pointed out, adjoins the land of Mrs.

Ivory but stock are not required to touch her land unless their owner so desires. It was voted that an engineer be delegated to mark out and stake the half-mile stretch where the 500-foot stock trail adjoining the Ivory land, so that trail herders would be plainly guided SHEEP CULLING METHODS IMPROVED. Bishop reported that Mrs. Ivory had threatened litigation against the woolgrowers using the water unless they paid her rental for crossing her land. Several growers present remarked they had been accustomed to paying Johnson a rental when using the water.

W. J. Kirk, newly appointed Natrona county agricultural agent, addressed the convention on new methods of sheep culling as compared with past methods. Experiments, he declared, have shown the conspicuous value of the improved methods of culling, as exemplified by University of Wyoming experimental projects. He read a report by Dean J.

A. HO of the university on a five-year project by which culling methods were carried out over this period with a Johnston county herd. He cited statistics as to what the scientific culling and herd upbuilding had accomplished. It was an ordinary band of mixed sheep when the project was begun, and as a result of the culling the sheep have become high-grade wool producers with improved wool and breed. Kirk offered his full co-operation lO any oi uie wuuigruwers ueamug It.

and any culling information or statistics he might have. He had data, he reported, on the culling methods he advocated. With opening of the meeting.
