MORE ABOUT WOOL POOL

and timely The handling and dis

forth some pointed thoughts upon
county pooling. We have a state
pool, but it has not proven salts

the state association does. view
it that cooperation among the farm
ers is somewhat different from some
other cooperative organizations.
Labor for Instance; it is possible
that the various trades-black
smiths, miners, carpenters, ETC., etc,
can be handled easier than farmers.
Those trades mentioned have to
deal largely with one line of work.
while the farmer has many lines to
deal with in both buying and sell
ing, and if he is not pretty well
posted some sharper land he is just
as liable to be fellow farmer as
anyone else) gives him the raw end
of the deal both ways, and his nose

pound. w. B. Connell, sheep and
wool specialist of Pennsylvania,
furnishes the following figures for
Pennsylvania: Three Pennsylvania
wool pools have just sold their 1925
wool clip of 10000 pounds. They
received an average price of 51.4
cents per pound The Lawrence
county pool consisting of 275 mem
bers pooled 10000 pounds at New
Castle. The Mercer county wool
growers pooled $4,000. There
were 385 members.
According to Connell, there are
81 pools in the state now drawing
wool from 2S counties
"The desirability of Pennsylvania
wools is seen by the sections repre-
sented by buyers of the Lawrence,
Mercer and. Venango woods, says
Connell. Buyers from Wheeling,
w. Va, Boston and Philadelphia,
purchased the wool and were glad
to get it,
Now all that I have written about
Pennsylvania wool might be said OF
Ohio wool and wool pools, as the
woods of the two states are similar.
I have said we are not ready for
a state pool. Possibly the time may
come when we will need a state
pool Gndeed I think that time will
Gomez but we need to have some
more experience. We need to have
a bunch of exploitere worked out
and be able to put state organiza-
ton founded upon the ideals of the
Alabama wool growers. An organ
ization strictly of, for, and by the
wool growers themselves. We want
this wool pooling and cooperative
handling of all farming commodities
to be built from the bottom upward
and not from the top downward.
/ do not think there is a man in
Morgan county who helped to get up
the contract the wool grower has to
sign when he pools his wool through
the state association. The local
poolers want good wool and we ex-
pect if our organization stands and
grows, it must be because of salts
fed service. A member may come
in our organization at any time and
retire at any. time, and not be COM
