USDA Report Says
Cash receipts from farm mar

last year, acording to the weekly

Receipts for the first h a lf of
1950 show a nine per cent drop,
nationally, from the corresponding
period in 1949. Marketings were
somewhat less than last year, and
prices averaged around six per

advantage of the sale. The price
offered and accepted by the man
agers of the pool was 64% cents
for staple wool and 50% cents
per pound for lamb wool, f.o.b. the
nearest shipping point.
This is at least six cents more
per pound than the price being
paid fo r wool from any other
section of the Western states and
is lim ited to C urry county wool,
no outside wool being accepted at
these prices.

The sale involves from 100,000
to 150,000 pounds of wool, and
the entire quantity is to be manu
factured into special yarns by the
Oregon Worsted mills, the Curry
county product being the only wool
obtainable in the United States
suitable fo r this special purpose,
as it is of a long and strong staple

buyer stated that the only wool
obtainable in the world of like
