FREE GRAIN GRADING

Another service that farmers have
been looking for is now offered to
them through the Farm Bureau.
The Farm Bureau board of directors
are in receipt of a letter from the
Montana Grain Inspection Laboratory
to the effect that farmers may have
both grade and dockage of the grain
determined free of charge. Sample
sacks and air tight containers in which
to send samples for examination will
be furnished free upon request.
The Farm Bureau members will no
doubt be glad of the opportunity to
make use of this service. If interested
write the Farm Bureau office at Glas-

By Robert Fuller
Written Specially for The Courier

Wooden blankets, made of three
eighths wool grown on sheep in Iowa
Michigan, Wyoming, Texas and other
western state, are to be sold direct
from designated wooden mills to the
consumer, thus affording the wool pro-
Queer a fair profit and the user a saw
ing of perhaps fifty per cent of the
present cost of blankets. The blankets
are to be woven from virgin wool dir
ect from the warp.
This plan is being worked out in the
west and it has every chance of sue
cess. At present there is no market
for wool and the warehouses in the
wool states are filled because of no
sales. The Wool growers are desper-
ate. Two years ago they received as
high as rs and 80 cents a pound and
this year not a bid is made by the buy
ers as a general rule, although wooden
clothing and blankets remain practi-
cally as high as they have been for
more than a year.
The plan embraces the grading and
concentrating of the wool in central
warehouses and supplying it to desig-
mated wooden mills which are to man
ufacture it into blankets to be sold to
hotels, hospitals and private individ-
uals. Agencies may be established in
every large city and the price of these
blankets is to be about one-half the
present cost in the retail market, &C
cording to careful calculations made
by the wool growers.
j. E. B~oog-Scott, of Coleman, Tex,
one of the largest wool growers in the
southwest and a member of the Ma
tional Woo@irowers' Committee of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
says out in his country men and
women are weaving saddle blankets
Of virgin wool for the cowmen and
ranchers on old-fashioned hand looms
resurrected from the attic.
The plan of the southwestern wool
growers is to concentrate their wool
at Galveston, on the Gulf of Mexico,
from which it is only 5 days by water
to the big New England wooden mills.
Mr.. Boog-Scott showed the committee
that present rates from the western
states by rail to Boston can be lowered
to the tune of as much as 60 cents a
pound of wool by water from Calves
ton.
The loss to American wool
is about 1926, 1000, 900, of which S75,-
600 1000 is on the shrinkage of the price

were married quietly last Tues
day in Oregon City at the Naptist

morrow along with ice cream mel
ons. Both articles are coming in
shipment from Turlock, Cali
fornia, but what the Erice will be
is uncertain. The shipment will
arrive tomorrow morning and the
stuff will be distributed by after
noon.
Green corn dropped to 40 cents
a dozen in some stores, other mer-
chants still maintaining their
price of go cents on the ground
that 1t is not coming in fast
enough. There will be a general
reduction by Saturday, however.
New potatoes are selling 10
pounds for twenty five cents
which is considerable reduction.
The highest price is twenty five
cents for eight pounds. The Dalles
tomatoes are selling 10 cents a
pound, while the first local ones
to be received are selling two
pounds for 25 cents. Loganberries
still hang on at five cents a box.
The egg market both in its buy
ing and selling price looks uncer-
tain. One merchant was bidding
as low as rs cents a dozen today
while others were giving 2S. The
lowest selling price was 65 cents
for two dozen. Merchants are over
stocked with high priced eggs at
the present time and there will be
no general reduction until these
are sold.
Fish for tomorrow will be: Sal
mon Is cents; sea trout 10 cents;
ling cod IL cents or nine cents for
the whole fish; silver smelt two
pounds for as cents.
Sugar looks like 1t might take
a rise, or rather N vsduction on
