Government Wool Purchase Starts The wool purchase program ogr; of the Department of Agriculture _______ ___ __________ starts August 15th, states J. J. Geaney of Coquille. Mr. Geaney is the local representative of Pacific Wool Growers, which played a large part in securing the passage ot the wool bill, The wool legislation provides that the average price to be paid to wool producers be in line with the 1946 support price which was slight ly more than 42c a pound, grease basis, for all the United States. Some adjustments have been made in the purchase price schedule so that high er prices w ill be paid on fine wools and a little less for the lower grades — for which there is Jess demand. The new wool law also provides that CCC may sell its stockpile of wools on a competitive basis. Previous legisla tion required that such wools be sold at not less than parity. The government’s wool purchase program for 1947 will be handled largely as in previous years. Pacific Wool Growers is a U. S. approved handler and w ill act as an agent for the Commodity Credit Corporation In handling wools. Mr. Geaney states that the mana ger of Pacific Wool Growers has made many trips to Washington in behalf of the wool legislation and In the new wool price schedule. At one time it appeared that lower prices were to be paid for certain grades of wools produced on the Pacific Coast as compared with similar wools pro duced in certain areas in the East. Pacific Wool Growers presented the cause of the wools of this area and pointed out that they are just as good and deserve an equal price with any bf similar grade. This was finally approved.. Some 1600 grower; are shipping over a million pounds of Valley Wool to the Pacific, where it w ill be care fully graded, individual grade sheets prepared for each shipper, and the wool then sold to the Commodity Credit Corporation. Pacific is mak ing the maximum advance permitted by CCC on wool of this character— which is 40c a pound. The balance between this advance and the CCC purchase price w ill be paid to the producer as soon as the grading of the wool is completed and the CCC has taken over. Mr. Geaney points out that if wool growers desire to receive every cent that their wools are worth they should not sell at a flat price but should ship it to their cooperative where the wool w ill be properly graded and sold at the highest price prevailing for each grade under the U. S. schedule of purchase prices. Pacific Wool Growers w ill under take a wool sorting experiment with CCC on a sizeable volume of Valley wool in an effort to secure a larger return for the producers by sorting the fleeces into their respective grades, or spinning counts, and bv making m ill matchings. This work w ill be carried on this winter, says Mr. Geaney. • • New Photographic Lab Modern One of the latest additions to the ever-growing business of Coquille is the modern film finishing plant in stalled in the basement of the Bank building by the Coquille Studio re cently. Latest methods, chemicals, and equipment have been installed and used to make this one ot the larg est and most modern finishing plants along the Oregon coast. A representative of the Eastman Kodak Co., commented last week that the local plant is one of the best ar ranged and equipped plants, for its size, on the entire Pacific Coast. The plant is now producing an average of fifty rolls of film per day, and with the addition of an other printing machine, the ou< Jtput could be Increased to as high as hundred rolls per day. Each oper ation in the developing and printing of roll films is separated into differ ent rooms, thereby making each oper ation a separate and much faster job with the highest type of efficiency. Twenty-four hour service, here tofore an unknown thing for Co quille, is now a reality for amateur and professional photographers with the installation of this fast, modern film finishing plant. • • Christmas Card .assortments Just arrived at the Sentinel office, (adv.)
