quotation of wool prices in your paper
this spring made me a half cent per
pound on my entire clip. l have mar
keted my wool at Dickinson for four
years, and | consider it the best market
in North or South Dakota. Our woods
are of about the same quality as the
Montana woods and we are getting
nearly as much per pound as any of the
Montana growers"
