Sheep producers who will soon
be marketing their wool crop for
the year 1889 are urged to consider
the possibilities of consigning
their wool for future sale and the
plan of taking out commodity
loan on their wool. The county

studied the two proposals and urg-
es all sheep producers to make a
careful study of the two plans. I'm
der the loan program loans of from
2O-21c per pound will probably be
made on the type of wool produced
in Stearns county. These loans are
made from the Commodity Credit
Corporation through the MINES
