Ashe Farmers
Get Good Price
In Wool Pooling
Clear Wool Brings Sc Cents
Per Pound In Pool; I'm
prOvement Noted

The Ashe County Wool Pool
recently sold '22,413 pounds of
wool for $11, 1896 to Chatham
Manufacturing Company with
1874 sheep growers cooperating.
Clear wool free from burrs
sold for Sc rents per pound which
was a net price of 4 to 6 cents
higher than many farmers re-
ceived who did not sell through
the pool.
A considerable improvement
was noted in the condition of the
wool sold through the pool this
year in comparison to previous
years. Around 80 percent of all
sheep growers selling wool
through the pool received Sc
cents for their entire clip, Coun-
ty Agent Roy Grouse, said. On
ly 10 percent of the growers had
burrs in part of their wool which
was locked 5 cents per pound, he
explained.
Mr.. Grouse also pointed out that
with some continued improve
ment in pastures that even this
could be eliminated.

Motorists Must Purchase
Auto Use Stamps By July I

The Federal Auto use tax
stamps are now on sale at the
post offices in Ashe, but accord
ing to reports from postmasters,
few are buying theirs now and it
is expected that there will be a
last minute rush.
The stamps are in the demon
nation of S., show payment of
the tax for the fiscal year be-
ginning July l, 1913 and must be
purchased on or before that date
if motor vehicle owners are not
to be subject to penalties. We
hicles using the public highways
after July l, must display the
stamp.
Each stamp is serially number
ed, gummed on the face and has
provision on the back for listing
the make model, serial number
and state license number of the
vehicle.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1943-06-24

When affixing the stamp the
vehicle owner should dampen the
windshield rather than the gum
med side of the stamp to guard
against loss or theft. AS a fur
Their precaution the owner should
record the serial number of the
stamp, which should be affixed
to the windshield in a location
not conflicting with State re-
quirements.
It was pointed out that the
stamps would be on sale during
the month of July only at the
county seat post office. Jefferson,
and motorists are urged to buy
theirs before July l at their own
post offices.
This does not mean that motor
lists who use their cars may wait
until July to purchase stamps.

must have stamps by July l.

in the county for around fifteen

State Highway officials announc-
ed this week, after comforting
with local officials on the matter.
There are "a grade "a" prison.
ers in the camp and it is under
stood that these are to be used
on the war effort or to be trans
ferred elsewhere.
District Highway Commissioner
V. D. CURE, highway engineers
Zeb Stuart and Jim Council and
Prison Supt. Horn, were here on
Tuesday for a conference and the
closing announcement was made
by them.
The prisoners have been doing
highway work, but the closing of
the camp does not mean that this
will stop. It was announced that
necessary men would be hired
for this work, which would be
carried on.
No announcement was made as
to the disposition of the property
On which the camp is located
in the Buffalo Creek section. It
is not known now whether the
camp will be opened again at
some later date.
The closing of the Ashe camp
came as result of survey of cost
of operation and the decrease in
the number of prisoners. It is
understood that several in North
Carolina are being closed.
