7,000 Illinois Wool Growers Pool 1920 Clip

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.
