will be entirely In order.
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

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."

the honor ol closing this deal each

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

CHATHAM, Va. niackleg, a
dark discoloration of potato plants
which i-aliBes the l'nited States an
annual loss of $5,000,000 Tor $6.
000.000, ha been attributed to too
much rain, too little rain, to the
moon being full, and to the moon
being dark, says J. A. Plnckard ot
the Virginia Agricultural Experi
ment station here. 1
Hut the real reason Tor this po-
tato disease is bacteria, or plain
germs, nut there are 62 varieties
or bacteria, each ot which can
cause potato blackleg.
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. But not one of Dr.
Donde's 62 varieties appears to lie
harmful to man's health.

have pnr-ked their Individual clips.
This has made Ihe pool so outstand
ing that nut only tu v company hut
the larye eastern mill to which we
sell Hie bulk ot the wool in the
pool, has each yenr expressed a
desire to buy it. even while pass
ing up wools from other sections,
of similar type. You may have
heard rumors to the effect that
Adams & I.ehind Inc.. have been

that we have never had any faults

"Thoso bellows seals you talk so much about certainly are
OK. I've worked my 'Caterpillar' Diesel over six thousand
