COLLECTION OF
WOOL POOL To
START MONDAY
Schedule Is Arranged for First OF
Next Week-Pooi Open to ALI
Farmers.
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, June 16.-Commencing
Monday, the Mercer county wool
pool, open to every farmer in the
county. will be assembled and
shipped from Aledo.
Under management Of the Mer-
Ger County Farm Bureau the fol-
lowing schedule for collection OF
the wool has been made:
Monday, to IL a. m.-New Wind
sor.
Monday, 1870 to 4 .. m-Cable
and Seaton.
Tuesday. to II a m.-Burgess.
Tuesday, l to p. m.-Viola,

Thursday-All day at Aledo.
The schedule is arranged so that
parties receiving wool may truck
it in or care for it at the various
stations From the stations the
wool will be brought to Aledo for
shipment because of freight rates
Past experience has demonstrated
the pool as the most logical method
of marketing and this years pool is
expected to be larger than any of
former years. Last year Mercer
farmers in the pool netted an aver
age Of 17.6 cents per pound on all
their wool. This price was an in
crease of 80 to IS per cent on the
wool sold previous to the pool or
by any other method. Approx
mately $4,000 pounds of fleece were
shipped in the 1921 pool.
Farmers are being urged to re-
member wool is more easily handled
If tightly packed in regulation wool
bags and that every care which
they can use in properly tying the
heeces and in keeping them free
from burs and chaff will be more
than repaid in increased returns on
the wool. Arrangements have been
made by the farm bureau organiza-
uons whereby advances are made
that will permit consignors to re-
celVe almost as much advance as
the wool could be sold for locally,
Alter the sale Of the wool the bal
ance is returned to the consignor
