its object the Improvement in character
and eopditlop, Of Ohio wool, aud the eradi

standard Of Ohio wool, they propose to es'

will do icqmplote justico to all wosl growers
who put np their wool in a satisfactory and
acceptable manner A portion Of the ad

attention Of those Interested in the produc.

idlyApproaohing whsnit will become tho
Tnnst important branch. connected with ag.
fieultute. 'she Importance, thou, Of giving
heed 10 the best method Of preparing
heeoes for market can not be too highly es.
tlmstod. 1t is fact 10 be deplored that
tbewools Of Ohio do not, at tho present
time bear the high reputation they once
did, For period Of twenty years Ohio
wool had been preferred by manufacturers
20 those Of any other State. excepting per.
haps small portion of Western Pennsyl.
vania and Virginia. At the opoting Of the
Crystal Palace in tho city of New York,
thirtoen years ago, clip Of Ohio wool
was pronounced by many disintercstcd
judges, to be the best parcel in the exhi,
biiion aRd It gave high credit to our State
among manufacturers everywhere,
We areioth TO confess, that within the
pas: few years the standard Of wool in this
state has greatly doterioraied, and our
woal reputation is not an cnvi .ble one.
This fesull has been brought about mainly
by class Of reckless or knavish buyers
who make no discrimination between clean,
properly prepared wool. and that which is
dirty, greasy and badly put up. This har.
l'misoarum mode Of purchasing gives no
inducement TO the grower to give the
proper attention to his ileeces, and is virtu
ally Offering premium to corelessness and
dinhonesiy. If batch of miserable dirty
wool brings the same price that clean
and nicely prepared wool does, what en-.
corragementi is held out to the grower who
puts up his wool fairly and honesdyI
TO correct this evil il tho main object of
the Wool Buyers and Dealers Association,
and Il they adhere to the rules and rogula.
tons they have adopted there 10 ent na;,.
nnent for those growers who bestow upon
their aeeces the greatest caro- in preparing
them for market. The cleauest and best
prepared woods will receive the best price
--iuferior woods IN inferior prioe. Tho AS.
sociatiot, dcnounoes the practice of employ.
ing incompetent buyers, aud will neither
purchase themselves nor allow their agents
to purchase any wool excepting on the fol
lowing conditions;
l.; deduction of cSr.pALF on all unwashed
buck heeces.
"a. A deduction OfoSs.rnrRD on all washed buck
hseees.
5. A deduction Of oSE-rAIRD on all other un.
washed heeces.
=. That all heavy, unconditional and badly cot
ted or stuffed neeces shall be classed as un washed
8. deduction on all wool tied with an unne-
oessary amount oftwine.
"a The prosecution under the law for fraud, for
any attempt TO mSrepreseut or to deceive as 20 the
inside condition OF heeces In reference to tags,
manure, dead wool, or any foreign substance.
" Teray the outside limit OF the market for
wool Ia good condition, this being but n matter Of
justice TO those growers who put up their wool
honestly,
This course rigidly adhered to will bring
about the desired effect aud our State will
agaiu attain the high reputation she once
had Tor woods. Col, +, r. MILLER, of this
place, has been appointed Director of the
Association for Wood County, and will pur.
chase aeeces only upon tho conditions laid
down by the Association, as above given.
So let our wool.grOwiOg friends, take notice,
as the lawyers say, and govern themselves
accordingly.
