sampling wool is very hot and the
buyers need all the breeze that can
reach them, Then again with the
light shut off so as to darken the
when sampling wool initiates
not alone against the buyer, but also
is detrimental to the growers whose
clips happen to be among the number
SO interfered with. 1t is announced
that beginning with today no one will
be allowed in the sampling room, ex-
cept the buyers and the grower whose
clip is being sampled at the time,
and the doorways are to be kept clear
of onlookers also.
The Northern Pacific announces
that it's list for the week is filled,
which means that any growers who
are anxious to put UP their clips and
are not on the list will be compelled
to wait until sometime next week.
Hardly a day passes but that some
incident occurs to show the grower
that he is bid a lower price than his
wool is actually worth or would be il
other conditions prevailed. Take for
instance the fact Of wool being tied
with binding Irvine, instead of the
regulation Irvine, which is easily sep
arated from the wool. With binding
twine, it means that the wool must
go through a more thorough process
Of cleaning, thus taking more time
and meaning a larger outlay of money.
The buyer necessarily bids from a
half cent to possibly a CEN and one
half lower per pound on the clip so
bound. Growers to a certain degree
are at the mercy of the shearers.
Another complaint comes from wet
wool, the sheep being sheared during
a wet season.
