AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
BLANKETS MADE OF YOUR WOOL

Through plans which have been
worked out by the University OF
MARYLAND Extension Service, the
consuming public will be given an
opportunity to purchase direct
from the producer alI-wool blank
ents or motor robes at cost, and
thousands of pounds Of raw
wool, now held in storage by
sheep growers of the State, will
be converted into manufactured
products.
The scheme which officials of
the University of Maryland
Extension Service have hit up
on was designed primarily to at
ford the wool growers of the
State a profitable market for
their crop.
Under present conditions in
the wool market, growers are
being offered prices ranging
from Is to Is cents per pound
for wool with the result that
thousands of pounds Of raw pro-
duct have been stored in ware
houses and on farms since the
unprecedented slump in wool
prices began.
To meet this emergency and
to move the wool crop of
the State, the University Of
Maryland Extension Service has
made arrangements withIa North
Carolina wooden mill which will
take the raw wool from the
farmer and convert it into either
blankets or motor robes. These
finished products will be sold by
the farmer at actual costs, the
farmer deriving his benefit
from the plan by charging fair
price of IS cents a pound for his
wool.
The farmer will act as salesman
for the finished products. For
every blanket that he sells, he
will forward to the mill 10 lbs.
of wool. To have this wool
cleaned, secured. carded. dyed,
spun and woven into blankets
will cost him $500. Carrying
charges. amounting to rs cents,
will be added and TO this sum
will be added $3.50 which will
represent the cost Of the 10 lbs.
of W. d. 55 cents a pound.
The farmer will sell the COM
pleted blankets for SLIPS. The
blankets will measure 68 by 80
inches, be double, and will weigh
approximately 5 pounds each.
They can be made up in a varie-
ty of color schemes, accord
ing to the individual tastes of
Of the purchasers. The motor
robes will be sold at 1915.
They will weigh about 5 pounds,
will measure so by II inches,
and will require about 8 pounds
Of raw wool. Both products will
be'all wool with the exception of
a small quantity of cotton which
is used in the warp to add
strength.
Farmers organizations through
out the State will be called
on to cooperate in bringing
the products and consumer to-
gether. Representatives of
farmers organizations, located
in every county of the State,
Will have samples Of the blank
cts which can be made under
this scheme and will be able to
supply information to the farm
ers in their locality who have
wool to sell.
When the farmers in a,commun-
ity have finished taking orders
for their blankets, their wool
crop and the money for the
manufacturer of the products
will be forwarded to the mill
from central point. The finish
ed products will be delivered in
about three weeks after orders
are received at the factory.
County Agent Posey has a
sample of the blankets.
