Assemble Over State.
In order to assist In the movement
or the Oklahoma wool market, the
state market commission designated
ten or more central points through
out the state at which the growers
might assemble their wool and al
prearranged dates carload shipments
were made to St Louis.
For those farmers who desire ad- |
vances on the price on the wool as
soon as 1t was shipped. arrange
ments were made by the market |
commission so that the grower
might receive rs per cent of the |
probable value OF the wool (the |
price Is fixed by the government |
but the grade or condition might at- |
feet the price) the balance due to be
paid upon the grading and accept
ance OF the wool.
By setting shipping dates and as
sisting the farmers assemble their
shipments, the market commission
enables the growers to ship In car
lots, and obtain the best freight
rates. Where there is a part OF
carload left over, 1t Is stored and
the next month additional shipments
will be made to clean up the last OF
them. Half a dozen more shipping
points will have to be designated in
order to get all of the wool shipped
from points convenient to the grow
ers, says Mr. Rounsevell.
