Growers of small I arm f!ocks In other 8p tions of the L'nited States have long recognised that the only way in which they can get the best market price and attract large eastern buyers to bid on their wool, is ta pool their chips so as to have large tonnage. The The plan or organlzaion or the,, d established Southern Oregon V ool pool and ' , , . . . .he blah quality ot Its product rej ;,1t,1h,aVeln!'1rr " eu 'n' a tan thefr f eivetl praise In a letter received i.Mu ,.,u" hi,. .rtr.i representative ol Adams and ie hind of Itosion, Mans., who this I week purchased the wool owned individually. This is due to the fact that large wool houses can not operate In a section where the clips are small as the cost of ga thering the w.ool Is too great. Where there are larne range clips running from twenty to a hundred thousand pounds, you can clearly see that a wool dealer would be wasting time and money trying to by clips which run from fifty to two thousand pounds. On the oilier hand, when a pool the size of the one you have here is lormen. the hig dealers in the east are lm Mediately interested in your wool. I think that this has been well proven by the prlcee which the Itool members have received since it was formed in 1936. I wilt leave !t to you to compare the average price received by growers outside the pool and the price received by I he pool members. Whether my company or some other wool house buys your pool In the years to come. 1 feel sure that the methol you are using is the only way in which you can hope to net top market prices. Or course you cannot expect to always top the Kiarket, as you cannot foresee adverse conditions which may arise suddenly. However, as the other farm flock pools have proven, year after year, you will make out belter bv using the pool method than by trying to beat the market single handed. In closing let me sav that the motto of any pool which is formed, for wool or other wise, phoutd be that "In Unity There Is StrenKth." OTHO O'LKAKY. Representing Adams & Leland. Inc., Boston.

The practice of or-1 ganizing growers ; provide ai large block of wool makes it m slble, Mr. O'Leary states, lor the: buyer In pay an Increased price, particularly when he is familiar with the quality of the wool in the pc,-)l. Ills letter to the directors fol lows: - It Is a real pleasure to Inform the people of I ion las county that Adams and Leland of Hoston. Mass.. have lor I he fourth time purchased the Southern Oreg;m Wool Pool, i have personally had the honor ol closing this deal each tini" with the committe which re presents the woj'i growers of the county and hope that 1 shall con tinue to do so in the years to come. This year we have beeif able to pay a price of 36 cents, which will net the growers cents. This is the highest price paid f.or such a pool up to the present lime. " In tact there has been only one small lot of wool sohl which conies any where near equalling this figure. I refer to a choice graded lot nf Iowa bright wool, very light shrinking, which was recently sold in Bos ton at S! cents delivered to the mill. Deducting freight, gradinu. and handling charges, plus dealers profit, t he comparative grease price ifi tlie grower would be 34 to :! cents. I point this out to show ou that the price or :UJ cents, which we are paying for ;'u pool, is just alynit tops for Ouj entire count t up to this date.

This summation or the blackleg host is the work ot Reiner Uonde and ita telling takes 20 pages of tine print In the agricultural Jour nal. I'hytoputhology. That's not all. The 62 varieties can cause other plant rot diseases, and some or them hide ill corn worms and other unsuspected places, by which they sneak up on potato fields.
