ing and you will see that all his SER

|DAH0FARMERS
POOL MILLIONS
Of WOOL CROP
Two Years Experience
Heightens Respect for
Small Flock Owner;
Removes Barrier.

Boise-Idaho Farmers, for the mos,
part owners of small flocks of sheep,
pooled 2,131,0O0 pounds of wool il,
1919 and 1920. says a biennial state
ment issued by the university extens-
ion division, based on reports from
E. F. Rinehart, field animal husband
man, and R. B. Millin, sheep special
list. This pooling, says the extension
division, was long step toward So
luton of the problem of the farm
flock owner, who has found difficulty
in getting his clip on the market in
less than carload lots. 1t has been
only few years since Idaho farmers
were convinced that they could not
keep sheep on the farms, in COMPETE
ton with range sheepmen.
I'm 1919, 10000 pounds of wool
were marketed comparatively, at a
gain of $48,720 over what the farmers
would have received, had they gone
into the market individually. In 1920,
more than $4,000 pounds were pool
ed, more than half of it through the
farm bureaus, or in organizations con-
nected with them. Sixteen counties
had wool pools. The extension spe-
cialist participated in the formation
of tri-county association that pool
ed 100000 pounds and in formation
of other pools, with $4,000, as we'll
as rendering assistance to pools pre-.
viously organized, that pooled. 266, $40
pounds.
THE most of the wool pooled in
1870 was consigned to reliable COM
mission firms, that do business on
commission only. A small quantity
of wool in the northern part of the
state is still in the farmers hands and
2sS,sOO pounds have remained in the
warehouses in the Boise valley await
ing market. A few pools have re-
ceived advances ranging as high as
rs cents pound. Pooled WOO. has
faced, of course, the same general
market stagnation that has confront
ed the wool trade as a whole"
Wool was pooled in the several
counties in 1920 as follows:
Boise valley, ada, Gem. Can
