The association now has ovv iiiOO members and over 200.000 fleeces s'gned up, which makes it tine of the largest and the strongest of the com modity marketing organlzu ' It Is patterned somewhat after tho Call fornla associations and soma of the middle western wool marketing as sociations, which have made a sig nal success for their members The affairs of the assoclat'on are managed by experienced wool men and business men, and it has the in dorsement of leading bankers, wool growers and business men. Over 700,000 pounds of members' wools are now being graded. Formerly these wools were sold ungraded, and buyers bought on the basis of the value of the poorest fleeces In the sack. This was a business necessity because of the great irregularity of wools and the bad condition In which they usually came Into the market. However, this prnctlce on the whole penalized every careful grower ani resulted In considerable loss to sheep men. All association wools are graded by Boston experts and put In merchantable condition, which greatly enhances their value. After grading und baling, the wool also takes a considerable lower rate east which makes an additional saving for sheepmen. The wools are ban died In a licensed U. S. wool ware house, graded and weighed by li censed graders and weighers which Insures fair and impartial handling to all shippers. Through the medium of licensed warehouse receipts which show the quantity and quality of each grade of wool, advances are being secured to take care of growers until selling. Wools are sold Jl-ect to mills and to large eastern wool mer chants. The elimination ot three or four country buyers or middle men and the necessary handling charges, coupled with the grading of the wools, makes considerable sav ing for the wool growers. Sixteen similar wool associations are in ex istence. Some of these are several years old. All have made a success of their business and bare secured several cents a pound more their shippers. The association's methods of marketing the wools are generally conceded by By CARL D. G.UIAr (United Press Staff Correspondent) OPPELN, Upper SileVs, July 7.
