lax methods of marketing. The
coaser grades OF wool, which com
manded the favorite position in the
wool market for many years, have
for the last few years been general,
ly on the less desirable list; with
the finer woods, although carrying a
much heavier s%hrinkage, bringing
the highest prices Q b 9 re.
Many Of the BEST informed men in
the wool trade have been disappoint.
preference for the coarser woods was
SO slow In returning and while the
medium grades have been gradual
ly gaining in favor for some time
the lower grades seem to remain as
far out Of fashion as they we're two
or three years ago.
President Harding in his address
At Idaho Falls recently told his
audience very plainly what the pro-
ducers Of the country should do in
their own behalf along the lines Of
co operation and orderly marketing
OF their products.
Wool buyers have recently re-
vived interest in the Wyoming vools
and prices two to FIVE cents per
pound above June offers are being
submitted.
A year ago the woods that had
been held brot prices higher than
had been paid for the same grades
Of woods earlier in the season. This
meant that the higher priced wool
had to go on the market and CON-
pete with the earlier purchases
which were bought considerably
lower. This year the condition is
favorably reversed in that the woods
that r being held will go on the
market along with woods thst weTo
bought earlier at the highest prices
since the peak Of war, and in many
cases considerably higher than that
being paid for current mid summer
sales. all Of which should have a
strong tendency to enable pur-
chasers OF the later clips to make
very satisfactory profits.
The reduction in worlds values
as indicated by the larger and regu-
lar auction sales would probably
have justified a reduction of one to
one and a quarter cents per pound
in the value OF the Wyoming and
similar inter-mountain clips. but
was reflected In an arbitrary effect
on the part of wool buyers to pur-
chase these woods at a drop Of from
six to ten cents or not at all. The
growers unanimously accepted the
privilege OF mot at all" with the
result that the greater portion OF
the 1923 crop Of Wyoming wool is
still In the hands of the producers
with a gradually returning market
and every indication of a future
that will make the holding worth
while.

SHEEPMEN SHOULD

.HrlD Of LINCOLN COUNTY AssoCIA.
Tl01 SAYS SHEEPnEH MUST
STUDY uooL PRICES
By J. D. Noblitt
President Lincoln County Wool
Growers Association

Beginning with the history of
the sheep business in Wyoming and
tho inter mountain west, and con-
tinuing up to the close Of 1891 It
vas the general custom for the wool
grower to get most of his advice re-
'sarding the wool market and more
especially his individual clip from
the wool buyers who were operating
in his district. The grower as q
rule made no other effort to keep
himself informed and the practice
of holding the association meetings
during December and J ar
placed them o far from wool SELL
Ing periods proper to afford much,
II any. benefit to the growers from
such information as might be broad
casted at these meetings.
Beginning with the spring Of
1929 there was a country wide move
ment on the part OF wool growers
to get together in their respective
localities and form pools or hold
Ing orders Of such nature that they
practically put a stop to the habit
OF individual growers selling until
they had consulted the wool selling
committee or their banker. or both.
In most cases meetings Of the
"oAo hCiu AlcQucully anu ar
rangemtnts made in advance for the
latest possible information as to
country wide and world wide mar
kets and conditions. This had the
effect OF keeping the growers ad-
vised and practically disposed Of
the error OF a grove selling or
contracting his clip without know
Ing pretty we'll what he should get
for It. There was occasionally an
exception to this. in that growers
would decline to affiliate with the
cooperative movement. in which
cases they invariably had cause to
regret. In n notable instance a
buyer secured permission from his
firm to pay q stated price for a Ger
tain clip OF wool. when he called
upon the owner he found him un.
Informed and anxious to sell and
bought the clip for three cents per
pound less than he had been author
lied to pay. This grower vas too
Independent to cooperate with his
fellow sheep men and In this case
paid pretty dearly for his indie
pendence.
During June of the present year
the usual slump in the wool market
was staged and had 1t o been for
the training wool growers had re-
ceived the preceding year and their
appreciation Of tho benefits OF CO
operation. many clips here and there
would have passed from growers
hands during this 10 called dull
period at prices materially lower
than their actual value. This would
have kept the market supplied with
cheap woods and would have had a
strong influence towards holding
prices down indefinitely.
Producers, generally, are not get
