HOLD YOUR WOOL

Wool valuations average lower at
this time than they did last year,
with the fine and fine medium
grades (shorn from Rambouillete,
Delaines and the other fine wools)
selling higher than last year, but the
coarser woods, such as the half
blood, three-eights blood, quarter
blood and low quarter blood osborn
from the Southdown, Hampshire.
Shropshire, and Oxford selling at a
considerably lower price. This is es-
pecially the case with the last two
grades and also with the braid woods
(Lincoln and Cotswold)
The wool market for the coarser
grades of good quality will probably
recover later in the summer so that
it would be inadvisable to sacrifice
the clip by selling at this time the
coarse grades Of wool.
The writer would suggest that
wool growers consign their wool to
wool storage companies, such as the
Columbia Wool Warehouse company
or the Portland Wool Storage COM
pany of Portland. These companies
store and grade the clip and sell di-
rect to the wooden mills in the east
for a commission of about 2 IL cents
per pound. The growers pay the
freight in advance, about one-third
of cent per pound, from eastern
Washington points.
The various middlemen are elm
mated through this method of sell
ing, the farmer receiving the total
value of his wool minus the commits
sion of 2 Y cents per pound and the
freight. Remember that by this
method of selling you will receive
the value of your WOOL that this
value depends on the length
strength and fineness of fiber; also
shrink, color, character and condi-
ton of fleece. In other words, if
your wool is under 2A inches in
length it will sell for the cheaper
clothing instead of the higher comb
ing wool-loss IL to 20 cents per
pound. II your flock lost in condi-
tion through lack of food and shell
ter last winter so that one can take
hold of each end of lock of wool
and break it through the middle,
making each of the two parts short
er than II inches-loss II to 20
cents per pound.
If your wool has a heavy content
of dirt and other foreign material
so that there is a heavy shrink IN

the securing process the price per
pound will be lower.
Shearing wet sheep anu sacking
these wet fleeces causes the fibres to
turn a permanent yellow color, an
other source of dockage in price. If
your fleeces have considerable
amount of chaff in the neck or back
wool, or burrs, another dock in price
is in order, as this wool has to be
put through a sulphuric acid bath to
eat these materials out, thereby
damaging the wool fibres. You suf-
fer the loss Tieing the fleeces with
binder Irvine is another source of
dockage; use paper wool Irvine.
If your clip is lacking inches, ac-
ton is dull and lifeiess, with very
little natural oil or york so that
when you stretch the fibre out
straight they remain straight instead
of the natural crimp returning, you
have poor quality of wool which
will bring a low price per pound
when sold on it's merits.
If you have any wool for sale get
in touch with the county agent at

MINE REGULATION
No open-Top Coal Cars Unless Tip
pie Is Provided.

Wagon coal mines may not be pro-
vided with open-top coal cars unless
such mines are equipped with either
an elevator or a tipple from which
to load the cars, the Interstate Com
merce Commission has ordered
The commission said the order re-
suited from undue delay and waste
full use of equipment which "aggra-
Yates the existing shortage of equip
ment and congestion of the traffic
when such wagon mines are not in a
position to load cars upon private
tracks"
The order is effective at once and
remains in operation until April !
next. OF the 1000 coal mines now in
ope ration about 5000, all of the
wagon type, will be affected by the
order. 1t was explained, however, that
the order does not prevent such mines
making shipments of coal in box cars,
even though not provided with eleva
tors or tippfes. When so provided
wagon mines will be given an a1lot-
ment of cars based upon the same
classification as used in car allotment
for regular railroad mines.
