CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 23.-Wool
growers Of the middle western states
Illinois in particular-are asking
highly ecxited wheat, corn and cot
ton raisers of the nation to follow
their lead of pooled marketing if
they want the best possible price for
their crops.
Of the thirteen states operating a
state pool of wool, with a storage es-
timated at 30,000,000 pounds this
year, Illinois with virtually 7l00 Or
ganized sheepmen, leads. Their CO.
operative pool last year saved them
$4,000 which would have gone to
middlemen. The membership then
was only half what it is this year.
The Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton brought about the pool last year.
Through its activities, storage quar-.
tiers were obtained at the National

Counties Respond With
Enthusiasm in Seal Sale

Hundreds of thousands of Tubercu-
losis Christmas Seals were sent out
from the Portland office of the Oregon
tuberculosis Association last week to
practically every county in the state, in
order that all machinery may be set up
promptly and every agent even in the
most remote districts may have every
thing m readiness for the Seal Sale
which will begin Wednesday, Decem-
ber l.
Everyone Of the thirty counties that
have been canvassed for agent for the
the Seal Sale by the director Robert
W. Osborn, have responded with en-
thusiasm The county public health
associations which now exist in a
number of counties, with committees in
every community, promise to be vital
factor in making the Seal Sale more
comprehensive than ever before, thus

Hon Wool Growers Profit
BY State Pool for Marketing
The farm advisers of the county
bureaus acted as agents for the in
dividual sheepmen; shipped the wool
to Chicago where it was graded,
stored and sold when market condi.
tions were most favorable. And the
sale eliminated the middleman-or
local buyers-as the wool went di-
rect to the mills. The wool remained
the property Of the individual grow
er until sold. Freight, storage and
insurance were deducted, the balance
going to the shipper.
Local buyers early in 1919 offered
sheepmen 80 to 40 cents for wool.
When the cooperative pool became
effective they paid as high as 55
cents pound for it.
From a wool producing standpoint
the pool marketing plan educates the
wool growers as to the best kind Of
wool to grow and how to prepare ii
for market, Through direct consign-
ment each grower is paid the highest
price on the rating of their grace.
Heretofore the local agent has
bought the better grades at the same

price as the poorer grades.
How Wool Pools Are Organized
In Each County

H0W WOOL roofs Are organized
In Each County
Selling direct to the mills through
the pool takes more time in dispos-
ing of the wool-but this is offset
through the steadying of the market;
at securing Just price, and further
ing an effective method of market.
ing wool in the future.
In forming local pool the farm
bureau advisor calls together sheep
men of the county and explains the
plan. They can elect their own rep
resentative or name the adviser to
act. If the farm bureau has no ware
house-all members deliver on cars
on the same day. Each shipment is
carefully weighed and labelled with
the growers name. Eighty-seven
counties in Illinois are so organized.
Wool growers of the thirteen states
now operating pools, are asking the
National Farm Bureau Federation to
create a national selling agency and
are backing the Truth in Fabric"
bill which would compel textile man.
ufacturers to stamp their cloths, man,
ing the amount of virgin wool used.
This would discourage the practice
by manufacturers of reworkinp old
rags, think the woolgrowers.

In view of the tremendous losses of
wheat corn, and cotton farmers in the
market this year, and of the consequent
great interest in plans for cooperative
and commodity marketing, the Auto
caster service, in which this newspaper
holds a franchise, sent Correspondent
Mayer to Chicago to report the result
of the wool pool in Illinois. The fol-
lowing account is, therefore, exclusive

FILBERT PROPAGATION FASTENED

Time and cost of getting flbert
stock for new planting can be saved
by layering the shoots that arise from
the base Of the tree during the first
summer. Well rooted plants have been
obtained during the first growing sea
son in o. A. C. station trials, and are
ready for setting in the orchard the
next year. This is saving Of an en-
tire year over present practices, from
the beginning Of propagation till the
stock is ready for the orchard.
