WOOL PRICES
DEPENDENT ON
NEXT SHEAR|NC
Heavy Cutting Sure to Run
Market Down, Buyer
Says.
FARMERS ARE WARNED
Producers May Have to
Consign Biggest Part
Of Crops.
San Angelo, Tex. Aug. 25.-Sheep

San Angelo, Tex. Aug. 2o.-Sheep
and goat men of Texas should pre-
pare for the shock of lower prices
this fall. il they shear as heavily as
comments on the range now indicate,
says ]. NJ. Lea of Del Rio, wool and
mohair buyer for Draper and Com
pany of Boston.
Mr.. Lea has already begun CON
tracing both mohair and short, four
and six months woods, in counties
near and along the Rio Grande at
prices much lower proportionately"
than was stipulated for unshorn clips
in the spring. he reported while in
San Angelo the middle of the week.
Lot of Wool unsold.
Mr.. Lea pointed out that of Texas
1923 spring wool crop. estimated ut
around 100000 pounds. there re-
mains unsold over 100000 pounds.
The spring mohar production in the
state amounted 10 approximately j.
100000 pounds he says and there re
mains unsold about 100000 pounds.
But most growers with whom Mr..
Lea has talked are planning TO shear
heavily this fall. anticipating Il strong
market which means. the buyer as
serts. that Texas fall crop OF short
wool will amount to 100000 pounds
and the mohair crco TO 100000
pounds.
The fall wool viii be Of shorter
staple than last year. but the lnohair
should be OF longer staple and of bet
ter luster, Mr.. Lea believes.
Nearly all the spring wool in Tex
as that was unsold will be consigned
to eastern market centcrs by Septem-
Der /, the buyer reports.
Mr.. Lea is one of the few buyers
il not the only one, who remains in
the wool and mohair raising country
the year round. The others. most Of
them from Boston. Philadelphia and
Chicago. come down only during the
selling seasons.
His advice to sheep and goat men,
in view of the situation he has out
lined, would be not TO shear this fall I;
at least not heavily.
For. he says. the market is pretty
well shot now, more than most peo-
pie realize" and adds that the pro-
ducers, if they shear heavily, may have
to consign the bulk of their clips.
But, as indicated by Mr.. LEAFS
report, most of the flock and herd
masters thinl; otherwise and naturally
view the opinions of all buyeds, no
matter how well they know them, as
having a bearish trend.
They confidently expect prices this
fall TO be proportionately as good as
the market on spring wool. which
would be better than for fall wool
year ago, just as they look for the
law of supply and demand eventual
ly TO bring about the sale of their
unsold spring wool now in warehouses
in Eastern market centers.

FIX WATER RATES
Will Cost Farmers Less To Irrigate
Land.

San Benito. Tex. Aug. 25.- The
board of directors of Hildalgo county
water improvement district No. 4,
have decided upon the water rates fore
this year and have placed the rates
low for the many improvements they
intend TO make in the near future and
for the great improvements there will
be in water service. The flat rate
will be SO per acre and for one water
ing $3.50 per acre. The bond tar
will be assessed according to valua-'
ton OF the property and will differ
with the location. But on the aver
age the total cost of one irrigation.
including these three taxes. will be
about $3.50 and about 5000 for two
irrigations. The bond tax will aver
age about S3 per acre. The low rate
for an irrigation tends to make the
cost OF more than one watering about
50 and up less per acre than the farm.
ers are paying at present. Now Sill
is being paid for two irrigations and
S14.j0 for three irrigations. with this
new rate the increase per irrigation
is much smaller,
