MOHAIR POOL' SELLS AT 62 CENTS PER LB. By pooling the Mohair cHp of the county and then properly advertising some for .sale, tlius getting in a large number of buyers, the mohair growers of Lincoln County were enabled to dis pose of .their hair at the extremely good price of C2Vi ced':s per pound. Walter Kline, of Corvallis, who pur chased ty'e pool, stated 'that the price was higher than he hud Intended to pay that tlie price obtained was the highest obtained tat any legitimate sale in tho state so fur. Some few small clips sold at 66 cents or 70 cenLs but according to Mr, Kline, these were paid Just to "Jigger" the market Approximately 16,000 pounds of mo- hair wad at Eddyville at the time of tlie Bale. The'totiail price was S9.298.80 The largest Individual check went to C. W. Brown, of Salado, totalling 1691- .79. At the opening of the sale, the bid ders present requested that any bids not presented In person be given first This called forth the bid of M. Send ers, of Albany, for 61V4 cents.

For a moment it seemed the sale was over, but Walter Kline showed his sporting blood and raised tlie bid a quarter cent, and the sale was over. The hair was at once weighed and tooded Into the car, ready for ship ment east A CHANCE TO GET GOOD BULLS To place Lincoln County on the map as a dairy community, there are three tilings we must keep in mind, namely, breeding, weeding and feeding. I would say weeding first as we all have some good cows and some poor cows; but I hear from all quarters that our spirit of co-operatton Is not duvekiped enough yet to make a cow testing aaaociation a success at pre sent. So It would probably ho best to start with breeding and a cow touting ajeociatlon win be posH'.ble liiU.-r. Un der our conditions, with our many small herds, the biwt and heapext way to Improve our stock would be with tlie utte of bettor sires, timt Ik, by breeding. To see if we can get a bull UHxonia- Uon started, in order breed right as a community, a meeting will be held in Toledo, the thlrty-nri of May. Tlie best results for tlie leant money can be obtained only through an aitsocla tton. Those that believe in better stock should be ihere. It you do not understand tlie purpose and form of organization, come and find out If you do know, como and help tell others' If you cannot come, write a letter expressing your views. It U Imperative that action be taken at this meeting, an no one knows when a ec ond meeting would be held If we fall now. Claus Christiansen, Bull Association Project Leader, Lin coln Co.
