MICHIGAN GROWERS
FIGHT WOOL TARIFF
Proposal is Declared Ruinous
by Official of Farm
Bureau.

LANSING, Mich, Aug . The
state farm bureau decided 10 send a
representative to a meeting Of
American farm bureau representa-
tives in Chicago, Tuesday, to protest
on behalf of Michigan wool growers
against the proposed new permanent
tariff.
According 10 Michigan officials
the proposed tariff. which has been
considered by the house. places the
levy Of IS cents a pound on scotred
wool IN the same measure, now,
ever, the bureau asserts, a clause
is included which states that the
tariff shall not exceed 25 per cent
Of the market value OF wool. The
latter clause, it is claimed, would
nullify the % cents a pound provi-
sion, inasmuch as the market value
OF wool is now about 80 cents and
50 per cent OF that would be only
a little over 10 cents a pound.
James Mcbride. of the state farm
bureau, will tell the national repre-
sentatives that a taric limited 10 35
per cent OF the market value will
spell ruinauon for the wool produC-
ers. Foreign countries are said to
have millions Of pounds OF wool
ready for shipment TO the United
States, and if the contemplated
tariff measure should be enacted, il
would be impossible, il is claimed,
for Michigan growers 10 compete.
