think II Il not wise policy, but the
organizations must be kept together.
We this day saw u fine sample of
Texas wool representing u lot that IL
now on the way 10 one of our wool
houses. IL was thought that 1t would
not shrink over so per cent. and yet IL
was said to be unwashed wool, but
this could hardly be possible ~ II had
all the appearance OF Ohio washed
wool. The sample had good length
OF staple with considerable strength, 80
much so that an effort will be made to
sell II TO our worsted mills. the own.
er Is going to notify ms on the arrival
of this lot OF wool and give us good
opportunity 10 examine and report
upon II. There Is good deal of pleas
ure In seeing wool In this condition
come from your state, and the tlual re-
suit we hope will lie satisfactory to
the grower.
We heard OF another lot in our
rounds, small lot from stock rams
and highbred ewes, but very heavy
wool. The sale of this wool was very
unsatisfactory to the grower and vet
the dealers reputation and financial
interest being ut stake, 1t Is fair 10 pre-
sumo that he got all he could for the
wool and yet IL ~ difficult 10 make the
growers realize this aud dissatisfaction
follows, We would not advise ship
ping small lots out of the state for they
are handled TO a great disadvantage in
all the stages from grower TO manutac-
turer. Ii is decidedly best to sell such
small lots to local dealers for the best
pricethey will bring;thay can then CONF
bine them with other lots and make u
regular shipment, and thls reminds US
of suggestion we made earlier In the
season TO form u shipping station. 1t
would take n company with some capt.
tai and good staying qualities, for such
n company might be several seasons
getting into n profitable business. We
a'ludc 10 the formation of u company
that would receive and pool fine woods,
! properly skirted, or at least with all
tag locks removed. Then grade them,
and put up special brands that would
win their way into the hands of our
best manufactures. The tag locks and
undesirable clips could he carefully
sorted and secured at the station. Or
instead OF such II company receiving
such wool on consignment aud maxi
! ing advances as the commission houses
/
! right, graded and baled Ia the manner
suggested above. Such company
| would add great impetus TO the
/ growth Of the town where located.

papers read very WE'LL and are apt to
get the editor credited with good
deal OF wisdom, especially If taken In

letters is not inclined to do. In this
