grin whenever they read how Babe
Ruth got another home run, and the
Yanks lost. They know the inevit-
able end of. such a course. 1t argues
for lack of teamwork.
Last year Rogers Hornsby led the
National League at bat, his team
being tied for fifth place with the
Cubs. That's individual work at its
best.
Last year, Sam Rice led the Ameri-
can League in stolen bases, yet his
team finished sixth. His sixty-two
steals availed his team little. That is
another view of individualism.

IL is true, especially of football Once

lined up against the Harvard Law

stars from many universities. The In

takes more than mere spirit to win

Griffs are shaky. They have the pep

The principal weakness OF the
club is its pitching staff.
Opposing average pitching, the Griffs
look good because their own pitchers
are average. Opposed to better than

WOOL q O NEWS

Eighteen states have formulated
plans for pooling the 1921 wool clip,
according to C. j. Fawcett, Director Of
the wool marketing department. of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
The formation of stete pools in Tex
as, Utah, and Montana, ers of peculiar
significance to the whole pooling move
ment. These three states alone pro-
duce As, 900, 900 pounds Of wool annu
a~lly--about one-sixth OF the output in
the United States.
The Ohio pool completed sales Of
1900, 900 pounds of 1920 woods on April
18th.
The largest single sale since the i'm
ception of the wool pool has been clos
ed by the cooperative wool marketing
department of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation I'm the sale just recent-
|ly OF 1000 600 pounds of wool to 4
prominent eastern mill in one deal.
The price ranged from 20 to 81 cents.
Mr.. Fawcstt reports that $500, 900
pounds were sold during the first week
in May. This marked high-tide for a
single weeks business" say Mr.. Faw-
cett. land augurs well for the success
OF the wool pool during the on-coming
season. A return to normal business
conditions will leave no doubt in the
minds OF farmers that their wool clip
is especially adapted to cooperative
selling under the pooling PLAN"
The cooperative wool marketing
movement has passed the experiments
al stage" states Mr.. Mwcett. "It Is
becoming more strongly entrenched
every month. II is Of primary impor-
lance that the sheepmen and their or
g~anizations continue to suppost the
Farm Bureau method OF pooling wool,
thereby assuring to the grower the
maximum return"

Stock Mostly 25c Higher-HOgs
and Sheep Also Advance

South st. Paul, Mimi, May Ia, 1921:
The cattle market has responded mild
ly to continued light receipts the past
week, seven market supply for the
week being very little larger than an
average Monday run during the Fall
shipping season, and beef steers and
butcher cows and heifers are closing
mostly 25c higher. Dressed beef trade
at large consuming centers has been
sluggish, however, and packer buyers
are fighting any advance in the live
costs, insisting that prices on the hoof
are relatively high as compared to
carcass values. Receipts here have
carried a fairly liberal number of fat
steers, and sales Of steers of a good
beef grade from $500 to $3.50 have
been Numerous, with top for the week
at $3.50. This latter price was paid
by feeder buyers for a few small lots
averaging from 1860 to 1860 pounds,
with one choice lot of 1884 pound
steers going to packers at the same
price. Bulk of common and medium
grades sold from $500 to $7.75. Most
of the cows and heifers going to kill
ers sold from $500 to $500, with a
few medium to good light and handy
weight cows and heifers at s7.25 and
$3.50. Most of the thin cows went
back to the country at $3.50 to $3.50.
Bulk of bologna bulls at the close cash
ed from $3.50 to $500, with top at
$5.25. Veal calf prices broke 75c dur
ing the week, closing packer top being
800. Good and choice stockers and
feeders advanced 25 to SOC, lower grad
es continuing slow sale at about steady
prices.
The hog market has maintained a
fairly stable price basis, closing about
25c higher than a week ago, range
$500 to $S.25, bulk s7.75 to $S.25, top
pigs. around $500. Lambs advanced
fully so to 75c. and sheep and year.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, endorsed the grain
marketing plan of the committee of II
as Incorporated in the bylaws and con
trasts of the u. S. Grain Growers. Inc.
According to a recent statement
from the information Office of the L.
S. Grain Growers, Inc, approximately
5000 farmer-owned cooperative eleva-
tors are affiliated with the Farmers
National Grain Dealers association.
Their a~filiation with the U. s. Grain

the action of the individual boards of
directors of each elevator, and execu-
tion of growers contracts on the part
of individual farmers. The endorse
ment by the board of directors of the
national association, however, will ex-
pedite completing these arrangements.
When these details are completed, the
number of farmer members and the
contractual agreements with these
member eleators will provide a market
ing machinery of no small consequ-
ence. That, linked with the sales or
ganiZation of the u. s. Grain Growers.
Inc, will permit the latter immediate

is with us-depending on us. There is
nothing but success ahead" This is
what President G. III. Gustafson said
upon his return from a trip to Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa, where he studied
what the farmers in those states are
asking in the way of a national CO.
