Manager Crawford
Reports on Work of
Wool Growers ASsO'n.

The Maine Sheep and Wool Crow
ers' Association has completed the
work of bagging the wool at the vari-
Gus pools throughout the State for
the members and Is now arranging
with the individual members who are
not affiliated with any local branch
for the delivery of their wool, c. H.
Crawford, manager of the associa-
ton. reported Tuesday.
The sheep men displayed keen
interest in the work Of the associa-
ton in each locality. The sheep
possessed both size and quality pos
sible for high production. There
has been a substantial increase in the
membership Of the association during
the past year, there having been %
rev members during the month OF
June. Others are writing in for in
formation as to how to procure men,
bership.
Mr.. Crawford stated that records
are being kept at the office of the
secretary of the association on all
good ewes and sires that will be off,
fered for sale during the next few
months, also for those who desire to
purchase.
1t is the desire of the association
that every member and sheep owner
campaign to cause all good rugged
eve lambs to be kept on the farms in
Maine during the fall season rather
than to be shipped to be slaughtered.
1t is sincerely hoped that they will
report to the secretary of the associa-
ton all such animals offered for sale
Mr.. Crawford said that many inquir-
les have been received up to the
present time for good stock and the
association hopes to be in position
to assist both sellers and buyers
along these lines.
Mr.. Crawford said that it is very
gratifying to note the many inquiries
for sheep of merit and also for blood
. ed rams All indications point to d
, substantial increase both in flocks
and in numbers of f1ocks during the
fall of this year.
Several of the members have dis
posed of their entire flocks during the
past year. In many cases, however
this was due to the fact that the
flock already owned was found to be
. inferior in quality and impossible OF
, satisfactory returns. Many have in
Dictated their intentions of starting
again this season.
The association is now making
plans for manufacturing its seasons
: stock of bed blankets, suitings
sweaters. shirts, working mems
pants. stockings and yarns and is an
ticipating n sharp demnad for these
goods during the fall and winter
months. These goods. said Mr.
Crawford, are filling long felt need
for those who are pleased to get rea
virgin wool garments to wear at very
. reasonable prices.
