Mr.. Nelson unquestionably would
like to see old age pensions of ap-
proximately $3.50 in Minnesota such
as they have in Kansas. Both Mr..
Nelson and Governor Landon are OF
one mind on the question of pensions
and social security generally.
Just how luxuriously can an aged
person live on $3.50 a month? He
could get by on his eats If he spent
a little less than 6 cents for a meal,
but then he would have nothing left
for shelter and clothing. Perhaps Mr.
Nelson and Mr.. Landon would open the
public parks in the summer time and
our public buildings in the winter time
to provide shelter And as for cloth
ing, well the Salvation Army might be
able to help.

In the Northern Panhandle of the
state, the principal breed is the Delaine
Merino which produces fine wool. In
this section, the greater part of the flock
income is from wool. More attention
has been given to wool production and
it's preparation for market with the re-
suit that it was a more attractive COM

in the state before improvement as a
result of cooperative marketing began.
Eight years ago, farmers in the me-

fer a large volume of properly prepared
medium wool that would interest large
wool brokers and manufacturers.
Through demonstrations of proper
methods of shearing and tying, and of
separating clear wool from rejects, grow
ers were influenced to improve their
wool clips. A reputation for West Vir-
ginia medium wool was soon established
and better prices were obtained.
Prior to the formation of the asso-
citation, medium wool produced in the
state was generally in disrepute with
buyers. 1t has been conServatively esti-

free from these defects apparently made
no difference to the buyers. Nor did
many growers who took pains to pro-
duce clean, well-prepared, beautiful
product benefit in price, although rejects
have value of approximately 20 per,
cent less than clear wool.
Reject woods yield less clean fiber
when secured by the mills. Foreign
matter must be removed by chemicals.
This treatment often injuries the fibers.
Sisal or jute fibers that get into the
wool, when such Irvine is used to tie the
fleece, do not take the dyes, cause inn
projections in the woven fabric, and
must be removed with tweezers by ex-
pensive hand labor.
Before Improvement was started. brOk-
ers and manufacturers offered a flat
price for all West Virginia medium
wool, which was always low enough TO
permit them to discount the expected
rejects.

Through the West Virginia Wool
Marketing Association, contracts with
manufacturers of paper twine for tying
wool have been made and wide distrl-
button of paper Irvine at low cost made
possible. All farmers who cooperate i'll
the pool are supplied with paper Irvine
through their local association. Less than
100 pounds of last year. pool of 100000
pounds were tied with other than paper
Irvine, and practically all the wool was
tied.
The problem of bury wool is rapid
ly being solved. On farm after farm, the
burrs are being cut. On other farms,
sheep are not permitted to run on burr
infested pastures. Some growers report
that they run their sheep on large tracts
where they can never hope to control
burrs. In general, these men cheerfully
accept the penalty of having the bury
wool rejected because they have had
cheap pasture.
Seedy wool, or wool with mixture
of seeds, chaff, hay, straw, bark, leaves,
and similar material has steadily declin-
ed. Perhaps the biggest factor in low
cring the amount of seedy wool has
been the building of hay racks. Many
sheepmen had let their sheep run to hay

~ONCRETE evidence Of the value

of cooperation in the production
~ and marketing of farm products is
shown by results of the sale of West
Virginia's wool pool for 1896 Of approx
imately 325,ooo pounds, to Patterson Il
Company of Boston at SO cents per
pound for clean medium wool at points
of assembling the local pools. Consider
ing transportation costs, two cents per
pound was secured above the Boston
market on the date of sale, May IA.
For eight years, the pool has MAIN
tanned the price of wool in West Vir-
ginia OH higher basis than would have
prevailed had it not been for its in
fluence. 1t has been of direct benefit TO
those who sold their wool comparatively
through the pool and to all the states
sheepmen. The average price paid for
the wool sold in the pools during the
past seven years has been 23.4 cents per
pound for all wool.
More than 100000 pounds of wool
have been marketed comparatively. Each
year has brought improvement in the
quality of the fleeces and the way in
which they are handled and prepared for
market. In the first pools, reject fleeces
often exceeded 20 per cent. This years
pool graded approximately 90 per cent
clear medium, indicating the progress
that has been made through coopera-
ton.
More Bids Received
More bids were received from manu-
facturers and brokers on the pool this
year than ever before. Competition be-
tween bidders was keen. The company
to whom the sale was made, handled
last years pool and two other pools in
the past, making four out of eight pools
and indicating that West Virginia wool
pleased the buyer.
Assembling of the local pools this
year from 81 counties began on May
II and finished July 2. Demonstrations
on preparing wool for market were
given at each point where the wool was
assembled. Farmers were given explana-
tions in regard to reject fleeces and
suggestions to improve the quality OF
their wool.
These demonstrations are an impor
tant part of the educational program to
develop more profitable sheep industry
in West Virginia. They were made
possible through the cooperation of the
Agricultural Extension Service of West
Virginia University and the State De
partment of Agriculture. Col. <. l..
Shaw, extension sheep specialist for the
College of Agriculture and technical
advisor for the West Virginia Wool
Marketing Association, was in charge,
assisted by Emerson Gregory of the
State Department of Agriculture.
Weol is an important product OF
West Virginias farm sheep flocks.
Farmers are giving more attention to the
production, shearing, and marketing OF
wool. This increased interest is greatest
in sections where medium woods are
produced. Medium wool applies to fleece
of such breeds as Cheviot Corriedalc,
Dorset, Shropshire, Southdown, and

scious" by the insistent and repeated
requests Of the local members OF the
Mining Association.
Last, but not least, the local Officials
\ Of the national forest in which, by the
way, almost all our mines outside Of
Butte are situated, have been most
helpful to the cause Of mine roads by
compiling and mapping the specific re-
quests for road construction which have
poured in upon them. In a number Of
areas the needs of both the miners
and Of the forest administration have
been cared for to certain extent by
the road building programs Of the for
est service.
1t Is certain, however, that the work
which has been done on mine roads
by the different agencies enumerated
above, falls far short Of the require
ments Of the mines now operating In
Montana, not to mention the needs Of
districts which might be stimulated
into production.
With the cooperation Of DR.. Francis
A. Thomson, director Of the Montana
bureau OF mines and the mineral in
ventory of Montana, an FERA project
sponsored by the Montana School Of
Mines, it was possible for the secre-
tary Of the Mining Association of Mon
tana to supervise preliminary study
Of a comprehensive mine road program
during the summer of 1885.
Detailed maps were prepared of 20
sections Of the state including 100 min
ing districts, 594 known mines, 210
operating mines. In this area it is pro-
posed TO construct IA miles of new
roads, and to widen and repair 998
miles Of existing roads at a total esti-
nation cost of 1924 $50. In the areas
in which these roads are planned q |
total metal production of more than |
$500 900, 900 In gold, silver, lead, copper |
and zinc has been made.
With the evidence OF this enormous
past production before us and the al /
ready reviving activity which is shown /
by the jump In gold production from
less than 81 600, 600 in 1882 to SO, 400 600
In 1884 and also with substantial in
creaSes In silver 1t Is certain that the

Of more permanent benefit to the state
Df Montana as q whole than much
larger amounts spent In scattered ac-
tivities.
A revived mining camp means local
market for timber, supplies and farm
A steady metal production
means additional tax revenues. Past
'ecords indicate the possibility Of an
increased tax return OF well over
million dollars annually with resump-
ion of a normal metal production.
The rehabilitation of our mines is :
