PACIFIC WOOL
GROWERS GIVEN
FX-A. APPROVAL
The Pacific Wool Growers associa
tion has been approved as a market
ing agency for growers whose wools
are financed by the regional ag
ricultural credit corporation or
the federal Intermediate credit
bank unlta of the farm credit ad
ministration, according to work Just
received by Lloyd Fierce, La orande,
member of the Pacific Wool Growers.
13-year-old wool co-operative hand
ling the tllps of approximately 2.300
western growers. It maintains ware
hous facilities In Portland. San Fran
cisco and Boston, and sales offices In
Boston as well as on the Pacific
coast, selling Ite members' wools di
rect to mills. ( i
The Pacific Wool Growers Is one
of the first agencies to be approved
for handling 1034 wools under the
farm credit administration regula
tions which provide that wool from
sheep which are security for loans
received directly or Indirectly through
government agencies should not be
sold but must be consigned to an
approved co-operative or dealer and
marketed In an orderly manner.
A similar program was In effect
last year, and the Pacific was one nf
the agencies marketing these govern
ment financed wools In 1933. "A most
successful year has Just been com
pleted." says R. A. Ward, manager of
the Pacific Wool Grow ere, "and we
returned to our members prices sev
eral cents a pound higher than wool
prices during the shearing season.
Recognition by the federal adminis
tration of the orderly marketing pro
gram Is gratifying to our members
end directors. uSo h- been f!OTr
Ing a similar program In the selling
of their wools for 13 years."
Even before the organization of
the farm credit administration In
1S31 the Pacific was approved as an
agent to handle the wools of various
livestock loan companies and credit
corporations In the northwest.
