Inviting the Wool Growers to Butte Montana
The National Wool Growers Convention is in Boise with 1000 delegates, as Frank Venable urges a 1927 meeting in Butte. Montana produced 9 percent of the nation’s wool last year, with sheep and lamb revenue over $20 million in 1925 and a bright 1926 outlook. The state’s wool men expect another strong year, aided by favorable conditions, abundant hay, and solid prices, while America relies on imports for much of its wool. If held in Butte, delegates will see Montana’s prosperous flocks amid the era’s strong protective tariff context.
