To The Wool Growers OF Morgan
and Noble Counties

I beg to submit for your consid-
Grafton brief review of the wool
marketing situation in the hope of
giving you better understanding
of the value and importance of CO.
operative marketing, and, If possible
convince you, as | am convinced,
that you will get better results for
your wool this year by consigning
rather than selling at the prevailing
prices.
In the first place the price OF
wool is lower today than it has been
for many years. 1t is below the
cost of production and selling
around tariff prices. And it hardly
seems possible that wool will sell
below tariff price as long as our pro-
duction is away below our consump-
ton. In the second place your fine
delaine is not only the finest quail
ity of wool known to the wool trade,
but, it's production is limited to
comparatively small area of which
your two counties are part.
There are only twenty counties,
comprising what is generally known
as the panhandle section, which pro
duce fine delaines. This gives you
an advantage for effective market
ing, which if properly used would
enable you to maintain a pro11table
price without any difficulty. But
aside from this advantage mills
must have Ohio fine delaines for
blending and special manufactur-
ing purposes and are willing to pay
higher price to get them on mill
requirement basis.
Under the existing system grow
ers sell to dealers during the smear
ing season on an open market basis
while the dealers sell to mills dur
ing the year on mill requirement.
basis. There is a wide spread be-
tween these two selling bases. 1t is
a spread that has made dealers
rich and kept growers poor. 1t IS,
in fact, nothing less than the old
marketing system operated by ana
for the dealers. 1t is obsolete ana
not in keeping with our present DAY
requirements.
The National Wool Marketing
Corporation which l have the honor
to represent and which is feder-
alton of more than 500 of all the
grower owned and controlled WOOL
cooperatives in the United States,
succeeded last year, (the first year
of its ,operation) in throwing
good size monkey wrench into the
existing dealers system. 1t brought
into the national cooperative mar
keting system over 37%o of all the
wool produced in the United States
and according to consignments re-
ceived so far. it looks as if this per-

The fact that it would engulf a
million earths is merely trivial
statement to make in passing, for
Jeans will take you to other stars
composed of stuff thousand times
more weighty than any substance OF
which we know, where a teaspoon
full would weigh ton. Then you
will find yourself among great
clusters of suns, where swarms OF
stars will buzz about like bees
around a hive If you travel with the
speed of light it may take you
hundred thousand years to return
from such a playground, and there
are many others just as fascinating.
To know about them you simply
must read Jeans "Stars in Their
Courses This is by far the most
popular and most readable of the
three recent volumes which have
come from his pen. If such pic
ture sets you thinking you won't be
satisfied until you have delved into
| his volume "The Mysterious Uni
verse;" where Jeans the philosopher
attempts to inquire into the mean
! ing Of it all.
Here you will become acquainted
with some of the radical changes in
scientific thinking in recent years.
/ You will see why the physicist
takes less seriously the views of the
universe accepted as so orthodox a
generation ago. You may be intro
duced to Einstein and his revolu-
tionary theories about space and
| time, and be led to wonder with Ds
Sitter whether the universe is real
ly getting bigger and bigger all the

cession of distant stars and nebulaa-
may be due to some effect of light
and space not yet clearly under

By a letter from our friend and
schoolmate Gilbert gCarnes, of To-
ledo, we learn he and Mrs. Carnes
are well. Mrs. Carnes, mother
Lefty, who has been i'll the past two
years with Hodgkin's disease, re-
mains about the same. When she
first took sick, the doctors said she
could not live more than three
months, but they guessed wrong.
She is a noble good woman.

some would hold for soc.

| centage VIII De greatly increased
| this year.
But unfortunately, the econom-
ic depression which has swept the
country has prevented the volume
handled through the national mar
| keting system from having the
stabilizing influence it would have
had under normal conditions. 1t
has, however, forced many wool
dealers out of business and placed
growers in better position than they
have ever been before to control
and market their own products.
Much progress has been made by
the wool cooperatives and it is the
duty of every grower to back the
national cooperative marketing sys-
! tenn to the limit.
The primary purpose of coopera-
tive marketing is to give the grower
full benefit of the highest prices
paid for his raw products. 1t is also
intended to handle such volume as
will reduce distribution costs to
minimum and at same time have
stabilizing influence in prices. The
grower who thinks he can get bet
ter results by storing and holding
his clips at home for higher prices
is simply kidding himself. The old
barn storing plan did fairly we'll as
long as the mills bought large stocks
to meet their own mill require
ments.
But, mills are not carrying large
stocks today. They buy entirely
from dealers and coOperatives who
carry the stocks for them. The
grower who holds his clip at home
is up against the proposition Oh
waiting from one shearing season.
to the next unless he consigns.
Dealers are not interested in buy
ing more wool until after they dis
pose of the stocks bought during
the shearing season. And mills can
not buy direct from individual grow
ers without incurring greater cost
than the profits they pay dealers.
What chance then has the indi.
vidual grower with wool stored in
his barn to sell in competition
with dealers having large stocks
stored in bonded warehouses near
the mills where quick deliveries can
! be made for mill requirements? The
grower who keeps his wool at home
thinking he is saving money by
carrying his own insurance, will
find, upon investigation, that the
risk involved is not worth the gain.
In fact, he will find it better prop
osition to sell rather than hold in
the barn. Comparatively few grow
ers have made money by holding
wool at home waiting for high
price market.
AS already stated mills buy en-
i tirely from dealers and cooperatives.
The grower who does not resort to
the barn storage plan must either
sell to the dealer or consign to his
cooperative. He is confronted With
proposition of choosing between
two marketing systems, one oper-
ating for the benefit of the dealer
and the other operating for his own
benefit. He cannot very we'll pro-
tect his own interest by patron
izing his competitor. The two
marketing systems have conflict
ing interests and cannot operate
simultaneously to the advantage of
the grower. We must have either a
dealers system or a cooperative
