IMPROVEMENT NOTED
III WOOL MARKETING
Product in Much Better Condition
Than Last Year.
Much Credit Due Department Of Az.

OF AgTicultursl
Wool received at concentration
points for pooling Is In much better
condition than that handled last year,
according 10 officials In charge Of wool
pools, who state that the Improvement
is due largely to the demonstrations
conducted last season by the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
showing the proper manner Of ham
ding and preparing wool for market.
The owners of wool clips who were
penalized In 1920 on account of slsal
Irvine, burrs or seed have taken pre-
cautions this season to see that their
product is free from Objectionable for
eign matter and In excellent condition
when secelved at the concentration
point. The percentage Of united fleeces
is much smaller than In 1920, with
considerable Rlmber Of fieeces box
tied.
Especial emphasis has been placed
ON the work of the expert graders in
demonstrating to producers and 9th
ers the value of grading the wool clip,
The subdivisions within the grades es-
tablished enable the producers Of long
staple wool to obtain full value for
their clip on the, basis Of grade. In
addition to the regular grades, provi-
sion also IS made for the various kinds
OF defective wool which constitutes
rejects. The wool growers are real
ing the value Of grading and the ne
cessity for the elimination of rejects
from their wool In order 20 obtain the
maximum return for their product.
One large wool pool in the Middle
West, which assembled and graded
$4,000 pounds of wool in 1920, reports
that 100000 pounds have been received
to date this year. One Of the largest
cooperative wool growers associa-
tions In the Northwest has increased
its membership from 1000 to LOO In
the last 80 days, and reports that
more than 100000 pounds Of wool
has been received at its concentration
point.

The liquid excrement from farm
animals contains nearly half the nj

the value Of the manure produced is
more than 81 per year greater for each
animal than when fed on earth floors.

Defendants Mother Says
Jewel Gifts Were From
Politicians Wife.

NEW YORK. April 21.-The
names of Senator and Mrs. Funk,
Of Illinois. were brought into the
w. e. D. Stokes divorce suit against
Mrs Helen Elwood Stokes. late
today.
Mrs. Emma Miller, mother Of Mrs.
Stokes, testified a diamond neck
lace and one small piece of jeweIry
were given Mrs. Stokes by Mrs.
Funk. This was part of the $4,000
jewelry stolen at Atlantic City, and
suspicion of the aged and rich
Stokes, as brought out in the trial,
are that one OF many correspondents
he names, gave the valuable jew
elry to his young wife.
1T was said in the papers that
Senator Funk had given the jewelry.
but this is not true" said Mrs.
Miller. .., ~.
Mother Gave Jeweiry.
Mrs. Miller, on the witness stand
two days ago, said she had given
her daughter most of the $4,000
stolen jeweIry. Today Stokes law
yers pried into her financial affairs
in an effort to show her income not
sufficient to AFFORD such gems.
Mrs. Miller declined to answer
any questions which would reveal
her income, and then Attorney
Smyth for Stokes, read what he
said was an accounting of the es-
tate OF her deceased husband. Miller,
and gave his assets at death to in
clude one COW and calf. a horse,
somes harness. to a total value OF
Sass.
Attorneys for Mrs. Stokes vigor-
ously objected to this attempt to
make it seem that one of the parties
is rich and the other poor, that this
plaintiff had seemed to- take one
who was poverty stricken and made
her his wife and surrounded her
with luxuries." Justice Finch ruled
for Stokes.
Letters Are Read.
Some of Mrs. Miller's letters to
Stokes when Mrs. Stokes left him
were read in court.
In one Mrs. Miller said: In case
Helen decides to take a home inde-
pendent of your support. don't worry
and suspicion where the money
comes from. Helen has a remittance
she can use for this purpose"
Stokes, Mrs. Miller explained, ap-
peared to her to be insane and her
letters were to dispel illusions
and patch things UP in his mind"
