Scio, Or., June 5. 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.
