HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOV. 11, 1926. PAGE FIVE Christensen Endorses Cooperative Marketing "Ten million dollars worth of wool was marketed through ninety-one co operative marketing associations in the United States last year," said Chris L. Christensen, chief of the Di vision of Cooperative Marketing of '.he Department of Agriculture, and nationally known as an agricultural economist, in addressing the Califor nia Wool Growers association in San Francisco on November 6th. "The Pacific Cooperative Wool Growers association, with members in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and California, is an example of the successful growers' association, and is one of the largest successful "co operative wool marketing associations in the United States," he said. He named the Ohio Wool Growers asso ciation as also having handled large amounts of wool on the cooperative plan. The "Pacific," Which has been in existence six years, last year handled twenty-five per cent of all the wool sold through farmeVs cooperative wool marketing associations during that year. In addition to its Port land and San Francisco warehouses, the association maintains sales of fices in Boston and Philadelphia. Mr. Christensen visited the Port land warehouse of the association on November 1st in connection with a field trip he is making over the Uni ted States, inspecting present coop eratives. He inspected the equip ment for handling wool, and the meth ods of operation, and pronounced the organization in excellent shape to handle its members' wool. He ex pressed satisfaction with the sound and efficient way that its business is being carried on and the prices it has returned to members during its years of operation.
