the Socialists are as guilty now as
they were the day they were expelled,

FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS
TO MARKET THEIR WOOL

-. Experience in several Minnesota
counties during 1919 indicates that
an added income of from to 10 cents
a pound for their wool wilt be real
lied by sheep owners of from 20 to
80 counties in Minnesota, according
to w. A. McKerrow, livestock special
list, who with w. l.. Calvert, farm
management demonstration. and F. C.
Clapp, assistant farm infringement
demonstration, all of University farm,
have been out over the state organ
izing wool growers into county as
sociations for the purpose Of market
ing their wool to the best advantage.
BY the time the wool buying sea-
son gets into full swing the last OF
May or the first of June, marketing
association may have been organized
in 80 counties or more. Members
will take their clips to- some GER
tain point,egenerally the county seat.
Several associations will employ an
expert wool grader who will grade
the wool into three or more classes.
All the wool will be disposed Of at
one sale, each grower being paid In
proportion to the quantity OF wool he
has had in the pool. Buyers from
Chicago and other wool centers, at
tracted by the combined offers at a
given point, can afford to pay more
for the wool in large lots than they
could under tho old hit and miss
system that has prevailed in the past.
