BIG STATE WOOL
POOL IS BEGUN

Agricultural College, N. D., Sept 8,
Every wool grower in North Da kota
may send his wool clip to the state
pool at Fargo and have it mark eted
thru the North Dakota Federation of
Wool Growers, according to an an
nouncement made by j. w. Haw of
the Extension Division, Agricultural
College, who is secretary manager Of
the Federation.
"1n counties having no wool grow
ers' association" says Mr.. Haw, 1--WE
will accept consignments from individ-
uals, or, if someone will call meet
ing. Of the sheep growers of the county
ana guarantee representative at
tendance, we will send a speaker from
the Extension Division to explain the
marketing plan and organize county
wool growers association.
''In cases where individual ship
ments are received from persons living
in counties where wool growers as
sociations have been formed, the ship
per will automatically become mem
ber of the county association, and the
dues, usually one dollar, will be with
held from the returns on the wool and
sent to the county organization. The
shipper Will be required to bear the
expense of storage, grading, insurance,
ETC., while the wool is held in the
warehouse at Fargo. This expense is
estimated at four cents per pound.
"The shipper will be given a ware
house receipt for his wool to be sup
plemented later by a statement Of
grading, and after sale is made, set
Elements will be accompanied with an
itemized account Of the grade, prices,
freight, expenses, etc.
"We plan to secure about 100000
pounds of wool in the state pool, have
it graded, hold it until the market re-
covers from it's present state OF par
alysis, and then sell directly to wooden
manufacturing establishments. The
more wool we receive for the pool, the
more successful we will be with this
plan. l will be pleased to hear from
any wool growers who are interested.

John A. Sorenson, manager of the
Person Stock Farm, three miles west
of the city, lost the four fingers and
the first joint of his thumb on his LETT
hand Tuesday morning at ten o'clock
while at work filing the big silo with
corn.
Mr.. Sorenson was filling the ens-
lage cutter when string around one
of the bundles Of corn caught his
glove, pulling his hand into the rollers
Of the cutter.
Workmen stopped the motor as soon
as possible and Neil Robbins, who was
assisting with the work, bound his
arm tightly, to shut off the flow Of
blood. Mr.. Sorenson was brot inn-
mediately to the St. Joseph's hospital
where the injury was attended to. Mr..
Sorenson will be confined to the hospi-
tai for several days.
The accident is regretted by M.
Sorenson's many friends located thru
out Northwestern North Dakota. He

in the state and has done much to-
wards building up Major Persons

FARMER DEMAND COUNTY
AGENT BE RETURNED

The farmers of Morton county APP
peared before the county commission
ers August 4th and demanded that the
county agent be retained. The county
commissioners at a previous meeting
voted to discontinue county agent
work. The farmers and business men
made so vigorous a protest that the
county commissioners not only re-
scinded their former action, but also
voted to increase the appropriation for
county agent work by $500, SO that
a clerk can be continued full time in
the county agents office.

STATE FEDERATION OF
WOOL GROWERS WATCH
MARKETING CONDITIONS

At this writing approximately $780,
900 lbs. Of wool has been pooled in
the Federation warehouse at Fargo.
By Oct. 1st, 100000 to 100000 lbs.
will have been pooled from county
associations, which certainly is a
splepdid beginning for such a late
start the first year. 1t is planned
to- bgein grading on these woods as
soon as grader recognized by the wool
trade and the bureau Of mariets can
be secured. Grading will continue
for several months, as each fleece mus
be handled in the grading process and
complete records Of weights kept.
Wools consigned for sale to COM
mission houses are still bringing from
Is to 25 cents per lb. The average
sale price being about Is cents. Some
of the 1/2 blood and fine medium is
bringing as high as 30 cents. These
sales do not indicate that the value OF
the wool any more than sheriff's
sale of a commodity is criterion OF
values. The wool market still con-
tinues in a state of temporary stagna-
ton waiting for developments in the
so-called Goods Market. There is
every reason to believe that action
will soon take place and mills will be
forced to make purchases from the
1920 clip.
The North Dakota Federation is
keeping finger on the pulse Of the
wool trade, and are preparing to go
on the market with samples Of our
grades as soon as there is a chance
for sale at figures reasonable close
to this years true wool values. The
Sales Committee consisting of the
Board of Directors of the Federation,
all active North Dakota Wool Grow
ers' figure that Fine and 1/2 blood
should bring so to SIS cents, 3/8 As
to so cents and IA from 30 to 40
cents.
The bulk of the 1920 clip is in pools
such as have been accumulated in
North Dakota. The attitude of Of
ficials in charge Of these pools is to

THE sILO

More food can be stored in a given
space in silo than in any other build
ing, making 1t cheap storage. The
silo also makes possible growing the
crop till it has produced the greatest
amount of food per acre, and Of keep
ing this food in the best form for the
animals till it is needed. Silage is like
having pasture for the live stock the
year round. The silage is nutritious
and has good effect on the digestion.
1t will mean big milk production and
good growth Of the animal to which it
is fed.

GRAMS BR0Ih<. s OPEN
THEIR FINE NEW BAKERY

the current and great arms revolve,
beating the contents much more per-
fectly than the good housewife could
ever hope to do this particular phase
Of the work. From the mixing ma
chimes the bread dough is dumped into
great-vats where it stands and raises.
1t is at this stage Of the process that
the fine art Of the baker is seen, to
best advantage. From the vats the
dough passes thru a shute down to
the floor below where are located the
weighing and cutting machine and
then on into a machine which moulds
the loaf into shape after which it goes
into an elevator into what is known
as a "proofer", which aerates the
bread to the proper consistency after
which it goes into the steam rooms
from which it emerges in readiness for
the ovens. From the ovens the loaves
are transferred to the racks and then
either to the waiting delivery wagons
or into the machine which wraps the
loaves for certain classes of trade.
The large number of special machines
entails an expenditure of over 100000
alone. In the bread department five
barrels of flour may be made into
bread every 20 minutes. When run
ming to full capacity 10 bakers and
six assistants are kept busily employ
ed working in shifts thruout the entire
"a hours. The men employed by the
Minot Bakery are we'll cared for by
the management, having rooms lead
ing off the balcony which faces their
work room. Here every convenience
has been supplied for their comfort,
shower and tub baths and every re-
quisite which can in any conduce to
make their quarters homelike.
The Minot Bakery is one of which
every citizens of the city may we'll
take pride as it is perhaps the most
perfectly appointed establishment Of
its kind west of the Twin Cities.
Messrs. Fred and Reinhold Grams are
veterans in the baking business, con
Quoting an establishment in this city
for the past eight years prior to
which they were located at Rugby.
They have given the name "Fault-
less" to their bread and this designa-
ticn seems amply justified by the in
finite care with which it is manu-
factured.
In their new building Grams Broth
ers have one of the finest structures in
the city, absolutely freproof in it's
construction, handsome and conven-
lent in every way. The arrangement
of the living rooms which occupy the
remainder of this splendid three story
building speaks volumes for the thor
ough and conscientious workmanship
Of Messrs. Lantz and Macklie, the
contractors, as we'll as Levin & Now
bray, the firm which installed the
plumbing and Conrad Wold who had
the contract for the interior decora-
ton. The total cost of building and
equipment is approximately $125, 900.
Minot is proud Of this splendid
building which will stand for years
a monument to the men who con-
tributed such splendid workmanship
to it's construction.
