A wool pool approximating 30,000 pounds was sold here yesterday to M. Senders & Co., of Albany, at 22 l-2c a pound. This is the best price paid around here this season. All the wool grown in this vicinity has been cleaned up. The big wool sale at Shaniko in the past week Bhowed the Oregon market to be the highest west of the Rockies, both on grease price and scoured. The estimated clean cost of the Shaniko wools Is 58 to 63 cents. It was a mill buyers' market to a large extent, as 800, 000 pounds of the wool bought at Shaniko go direct to manufacturers. About 95 per cent of the Oregon clip has now passed out of growers' hands. Some 400,000 pounds of Shaniko wool are still to come in and will bo sold at public sale. There is also some wool left at Madras and Hunt's Ferry and there are scattering clips here and there, perhaps 750,000 pounds, all told, left in the state. At Madras there is talk of having a public sale next week, if the wools are not sold privately in the meantime. Another two weeks will see Oregon practic ally cleaned up of all its best wools. In the late trading in this state, competition has been more than active. The buyers have evidently ' , mmmmm gone at It with only one object in view, that of getting poHsesalnn of the wool, and they have abandoned their former eflort of trying to buy a cheaply a possible. These growers who were to fortunate a not to have contracted their clip were indeed lucky to have wool to noil. The prices realized In the Oregon tales were In some Instances a high as the wool would sell for laid down in Boston. Agriculturist Wants to Meet Farmers To the Editor : I am very anxious to get In touch with all of the farmers In Crook county who are Interested In a study of our farm crop and farm condi tions and a betterment of the same andthose who wish to learn in full the nature of the work the federal, state and county governments are undertaking in Crook county through tho Oregon Agricultural College, which 1 represent here. With the distances so great between farms generally over the county, I find that the visit from farm to farm I not In itself the best plan for getting acquainted most quickly with the men on the farms- Wherever a few farmers can get together in a school house or at some residence in the neighborhood, I shall be very glad to meet with them and explain the work and co-operate with them in a study of their soil and local conditions and in the solu tion of their problems of difficulties. In this way we may become ac quainted sooner and I may be able to determine what lines of work are most important for that particular locality. If there are any men in any neighborhood who might be interested in holding meetings of this kind, either large or small, I shall be very glad to hear from them and I shall be glad to give each neighborhood the earliest possible date for a meeting. This work is co-oerative in every particular. We go where we are wanted and help where we can. Our work is for and with the farmers. We are not supposed to "know it all," but are willing to work with the men on the farms in trying to find out all there is possible to find out, either through work already done or through work that we may do through this co-operative plan. These meetings will not interfere with my visiting the interested farmer on his farm, but will assist myself and the interested farmers in getting together more quickly. There is no expense attached to my presence at the meeting or my visit to the farm, and I am ready and willing to go wherever I may be of service. A. E. Lovett, County Agriculturist, Redmond, Ore.
