than $4,000 was earned for tho Farm
Bureau members in West Virginia by
the wool pool this year. as indicated by
the reports OF the sale Of tho WOOL

Tho average general price for wool
sold to dealers In West Virginia this
year waa between 80 and IS cents. Very

Taking IS cents as an average price this
means a profit Of almost II cents per

II the 100000 pounds Of wool pro.
duced in West Virginia this year had
all been handled Though the wool poor.
It would have brought the farmers or
