FARMERS ASKED
TO POOL WOOL
Government Gives Instructions
to Farmers, Guaranteeing
That They Will Get Full
Value For The Crop.

The following extracts are taken
from the resent g vernment rrRula-
tions for handling the WOO; clip OF
1918.
Growers desiring 20 DO so will be
allowed to pool their clips in Quan-
Titles of not less than minimum car
loads of 10000 pounds and consign
the wool so pooled as on account to
any approved dealer in any approved
distributing center. Growers are urg-
ed to adopt this latter course thru
county agents or others, thus climi-
mating the profits of one middleman.
Approved dealers shall be entitled
to gross profit IN no case to en-
ceed l Lee per pound on the total
seasons business, this profit to cover
all expenses from grower to loading
wool on board cars.
The grower shall receive far pric-
es for his wool based on the Atlantic
seaboard prices ns established OH July
80, 1917, less the profit to dealer, as
stated above, and less freight to the
seaboard, moisture, shrinkage and in
terest,
The grower shall be entitled to re-
ceivc an advance up to but not OK
:eeding rs per cent of the fair esti-
mated market value of his wool. He
shall pay interest on this advance at
the rate of 6 per cent per annum
from the dnte he receives such ad-
vance until his wool arrives ut the
distributing center as shown by r. r.
receipt. 1t is not intended that the
grower shall pay interest on advanc-
es after the date of arrival as shown
by RAILROAD receipt and he shall be
entitled To receive interest OH the
selling value Of his wool after freight
has been deducted from date OF mr.
rival.
From the above it appears that the
government favors the pooling just
as the local farmers associations are
doing. The government allows coun-
ty dealers to make 1-2c per pound
which is twice as much as IL costs the
farmer to handle tho wool through
his own organization, thus he will
save 3-4c this way. Besides allowing
the county dealer l 1-2c it appears
that the government will allow deal
ers in the big distributing centcrs
3 1-2c to 4 per cent for grading and
handling. The fixed price for scour-
ed basis on Ia blood staple, which is
the grade chiefly produced in this
section is $1.32. AS our wool washes
about GO per cent it seems that the
price will be about Soc. From the
above statements it looks as if the
Secretary-Treasurer of the Farmers
Association might be able to secure
for the members an advance of rs
per cent of value of wool as soon as
shipped This will make quite a sat
isfactory arrangement All persons
interested in this matter who have
not already pooled should see Mr.. M.
L. Peery. Secretary Treasurer of the
Association as the government is
keeping him fully informed as to the
details Of this matter. Whether you
have sold OF not he will be glad to
give you all available information.

GERMAN ARMY
STILL GAINING
French and English Still Retir-
ing and Berlin Claims Capture
of 25,000 Prisners and Nu-
merOus Towns.

In their violent attack OH the 30
miles battle front running from
northwest OF Rheims, the German ar
mes are continuing to force back the
French and British ON nearly every
sector.
The fortified town of Soissons, the
extreme left flank of the allied bat
tie line, has been occupied by the en-
emy, although the French are still
holding tennciously to its western en-
| vIrons, through which emerge the
railway lines leading to Paris and
Compcignc.
According to the German official
communication, $4,000 prisoners,
French and II British General being
among thcm, have been taken, and
numerous additional towns and van
tnge points all along the front have
hccn captured.
Seemingly, Rheims, like scissors,

the enemy, as the French war Office
reports that the troops covering the
famous cathedral town, which almost
daily for several weeks has been the
target for shells of hate from the
German guns, have been withdrawn
behind the Aisnc canal northwest of
HE town.
On the sector directly southeast of

where htey started their drive Mon
day from Vnuxaillon while further
east, near l.oupcignc, and in the cen
TIRE and in The vicinity of Savigny,
Wedges have been driven into Il depth
of approximately fifteen miles.
The Germans continuously are
throwing fresh divisions into the bnt-
| 'e, but the British and French troops
are keeping up their tactics of giving
Ground only when il is impossible

tremendous pressure of the enemy,
Heavy casualties are being suffered
by the army of the German crown
prince, while the losses of men to the
allied forces are described as relative
ly light.
Although unoilicin | reports have
mentioned the rushing up of rein
forccmcnts from the south, there has
MS yet been no official statement that
General foch is sending in his re-
serves.

Germans Tucsdny Numerous counter

Still another defeat has been in

large quantities of gas near Prcmcnil

Americans shot to pieces with machine
