GOVERNMENT SEEKS METHOD
TO HELP ELOCkMASTERS

The wool situation Is discussed
briefly in the monthly bulletin issued
by the Federal Reserve Board, and
the report closes with review of the
offer made by the board recently to
the wool growers who came to Wash
ington appealing for financial help.
Referring to the wool industry both
in the United States and the world at
large. the board says:
Adjustment of the wool market is
now in progress and during the past
month there has been complete ces.
sation of buying. No established
price for raw wool exists. The situa-
ton in the wooden and worsted yarn
industry is causing grave apprehen-
sion 10 manufacturers. Lack of con
fidence is reported throughcut the
textile industry in the Phiiadelnhia
district. Collections are poor and
transportation is unsatisfactory. OF
the 64i,0oo.000 pounds of wool pur.
chased by the government at the time
we entered the war. there was left AT
the date ot the armistice about 49,,
000.Q00 pounds.
Quantity on Governments Hands.
All the best grades have been sold.
but the government still has about
el.ooe,eoO pounds graded from med.
iums TO the low Cross-breds. of which
about 4o,00o.000 pounds is stored in
Boston and vicinity, and the balance
scattered throughout the country, n
/ considerable amount of this being in
/ New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
4 At the last auction of government
wool, held June 10th, when 1000 900
pounds were offered. only about 6 per
cent was sold at upset prices. which
i practically amounted to the same
4 prices as AT the previous months sale.
The dealers, being wen stocked with
mdium and lower grades, have not

months past. At the last sale OF

~ no bidders and what was sold is

a condition which also prevailed in
the London market.
Large Stock in Existence.
"Boston dealers say there is eVl.
dence of the existence at this time OF
great quantities of wool in the world.
1t is estimated that Great Britain
owns 100000 bales all paid for, and
that Australia, including New yea
land, has a considerably large amount,
including this years clip. This con-
dition has been brought about by sucn
countries as Germany, Austria and

Rusia being out of the market for a
long time past, while France and Bel
gium own no wool, buying as they
need it. The mills of the last two
mentioned countries are said to be
operating at from IS to 80 per cent OF
pre-war times. 1t is Claimed that
Great Britain is the only country ex-
tending any large amount OF credit to
Germany, last month granting at least
$75,000000.

HOLDS BACK WOOL

hands OF Idaho growers at the present
time than has ever been In their
hands before at this time OF the year"
says n. d. Millin, sheep specialist OF
the University OF Idaho Extension
Division, In statement concerning
determining the value of wool.
"The wool market Is dormant"
says Mr.. Millin. land woolgrowers are
anxiously awaiting Its return to ac-
tivity. They are trying more than
ever to keep posted on the prices
which they may expect their wool to
bring
How Western Woods Are Quoted.
western woods are usually quoted
in the newspapers as territory
woods, and the quotations given are
the prices for pound OF secured
wool. For given year the shrinkage
caused by grease and dirt In eastern
corn belt woods of similar grades
varies comparatively little. Due to
differences of the soil and vegetation
on the ranges, the different kinds of
ranges and the varying number OF
dust storms In different localities,
this does not hold true for western
woods. AS result. the only fair way
to give the quotation Is on q secured
wool basis.
How Values Are Determined.
I'm order to determine the value OF
his wool. grower must be able to
translate the secured pound quota
tions into terms applicable to wool in
the grease. TO know the general
trend OF the market from week to
week, he must have at hand the latest
quotations and know approximately
how much his wool will shrink when
secured. Quotations representing the
top values for the different classes of
woods can usually be found in the Sat
urday editions OF certain newspapers.
Those men who have shipped IN other
years to consignment houses will be
able to determine the approximate
shrinkage from the sale slips of these
houses, upon which the estimated
shrink Is usually given.
Representative Idaho shrinkages
are as follows:
Combing. Clothing.
Fine ......-..-.................-64 pct. 81 pct
biood..55 pct. 56 pct.
Halfblood .......--......~.62 pct. 81 pct
Quarter blood .,,.........5O pct.
Braid ......4.-.o... -.........p..43 pct.
How Sheepmen May Figure.
'.To determine the value of the wool
the grower must multiply the price
per secured pound. for the proper
grade. by the percentage OF secured
wool pound of his grease wool will
produce. Thus, IL his clip is fine
combing CASUALLY quoted as fine
stapre), which will shrink 81 per cent.
Ii win produce only 36 per cent of its
grease weight In secured wool. Upon
looking up the latest quotations he
finds that fine staple Tor coMbing)
wool n worth $3.50 per secured
pound. Thirty.six per cent of $3.50
equals 6S.4 cents, or the value of his
wool on the market quoted. Know
ing It's approximate value. he is In a
much better position to know when to
sell so as to realize us much money
from his product rs possible"

Feeds Garbage Freely.

One Southern pOultryman who
handles about 1000 fowls reports ex-
cellent results from the use Of we'll
selected garbage, which he obtains
from a large charitable institution. He
hauls the garbage twice a day. and
feeds II to the birds about ten o'clock
In the morning and again during the
middle Of the afternoon, so that the
table scraps are fed fresh, only two
or three hours after they r discard
ed from the kitchen. This poultry
mar feeds the garbage on the grass of
the range in such quantity that the
fowls clean up all the refuse. The
successful results obtained by this
chicken fancier are due largely to the
well-selected and thoroughly fresh
garbage which is fed. He reports ex-
cellent results not only from the feed
ing Of garbage to fattening cockerels
and old hens, but also to its use for
laying hens and pullets. Even a small
number of turkeys which are main
tanned on this farm are always atten-
lively on the watch for the garbage
wagon. The gobblers relish table
scraps keenly and desert tender grass

A languid swell was visiting a
charming young society lady, and as
they sat on either side Of the fire his
heart was full Of the burning desire
to say something not only compll-
mentary, but brilliantly fiattertng. So
after revolving the matter in his mind,
he said: "Ah. Miss Lille, why are
those fire-tongs so like me?"
He meant her to guess, or ask him to
tell her. "because they were PROSTATE
at her feet" or something of that kind,
Miss Lille, looking solemnly demure,
said she didn't know, unless 1t was be-
cause they had two thin legs and a
brass head.

door before she had recovered from
the shock Of her own volley.
