FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Heppner Oregon 7,000 Illinois Wool Growers Pool 1920 Clip " r losses ; ' wwwywiyit'.Wf p H , is a s Ki WW 7. A' hitel mm k js A cooperative wool pool last year by 3500 sheepmen of Illinois, supervised by the Illinois Agricultural Association, saved them about $50;000. This year twice as many wool-growers from 87 counties are follow ing the same plan, which consists of shipping, grading, and storing the wool until the most favorable market is presented. The middleman is eliminated, the growers selling direct to the mills. The local pools are called by the Farm Bureau advisors in each county. Thirteen middlewestern states have 30 million pounds of wool in pool storages, it is estimated. (In view of the tremendous losses of wheat, corn, and cotton farmers In the market this year, and of the consequent great interest in plans for cooperative and commodity marketing, the Auto caster service, in which this newspaper holds a franchise, sent Correspondent Mayer to Chicago to report the result of the wool "pool" in Ilinois. The fol lowing account is, therefore, exclusive to us. Editor.) BY VICTOR MAYER Written Specially for THE GAZETTK-TIMES. CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 23 Wool growers of the middle western states Illinois in particular are asking highly ecxited wheat, corn and cot ton raisers of the nation' to follow their lead of pooled marketing if they want the best possible price for their crops. Of the thirteen states operating a state pool of wool, with a storage es timated at 30,000,000 pounds this year, Illinois with virtually 7100 or ganized sheepmen, leads. Their co operative pool last year saved them $50,000 which would have gone to middlemen. The membership then was only half what it is this year. The Illinois Agricultural Associa tion brought about the pool last year. Through its activities, storage quar ters were obtained at the National Wool Warehouse Co., here, and pro visions made for handling the sea son's clip on the installment plan. How Wool Growers Profit By State Pool for Marketing The farm advisers of the county bureaus acted as agents for the in dividual sheepmen; shipped the wool to Chicago where it was graded, stored and sold when market condi tions were most favorable. And the sale eliminated the middleman or local buyers as the wool went di rect to the mills. The wool remained the property of the individual grow er until sold. Freight, storage and insurance were deducted, the balance going to the. shipper. Local buyers early in 1919 offered sheepmen 30 to 40 cents for wool. When the cooperative pool became effective they paid as high as 55 cents a pound for it. ' From a wool producing standpoint the pool marketing plan educates the wool growers as to the best kind of wool to grow and how to prepare it for market. Through direct consign ment each grower is paid the highest price on the rating of thefr grade-. Heretofore the local agent has bought the better grades at the same price as the poorer grades. How Wool Pools Are Organized In Each County Selling direct to the mills through the pool takes more time in dispos ing of the wool but this is offset through the steadying of the market; at securing a just price, and further ing an effective method of market ing wool in the future. In forming a local pool the farm bureau advisor calls together sheep men of the county and explains the plan. They can elect their own rep resentative or name the adviser to act. If the farm bureau has no ware houseall members deliver on cars on the same day. Each shipment is 'carefully weighed and labelled with the grower's name. Eighty-seven ! :- in- . . . . u-'uuwes in unnois are so organized. Wool growers of the thirteen states now operating pools, are asking the National Farm Bureau Federation to create a national selling agency and are backing the "Truth in Fabric" bill which would compel textile man ufacturers to stamp their cloths, nam ing the amount of virgin wool used. This would discourage the practice by manufacturers of reworking old rags, think the woolgrowers.
