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.
