The chances Increase to 27 percent Wool Producers Find Advantages In Pool Contracts By GAIL McCARTY Morrow County Agent Wool prices remain strong. Some recent pools have sold at higher prices than the early ones following defense depart ment contracts for 54 million yards of worsted and worsted blend yard goods. With these prosiM'Cta, several Morrow coun ty producers contracted their wool with the Grant-Wheeler wool pool which recently sold their 4.100 fleeces at 6-1.57 cents a pound grease basis. Other Oregon pools selling recently have Included Prlne vllle, 65.47: Klamath, 66.53; and Douglas county for 57.17. These figures would seem to Indicate that wool producers could gain a more advantageous marketing position by forming a pool or Joining an existing pool. This would provide buy ers a larger amount of wool at one time nnd place and there for a more attractive purchase. Tho Grant-Wheeler pool dir ectors have invited Mor ro w county producers to Join in their pool, both in contracting wool and In electing members from this county to the hoard of directors. The consignors for this year, plus any other Inter ested persons, axe asked to meet next Tuesday nt 8:00 p.m. In the County Agent's office to de cide future plans concerning a goal.

Throughout the state, 4-H groups are loinlng hands with the Heifer ITolect to send 40 small animals to 4 II group In Mexico. The Heifer Project Is a na tional program which began sometime after World War 11. It got its name from Its first protect, which was to send dairy hellers to the H-o)le of several Pacific Islands, where strong, healthy animals were not avail able. The cows were sent to farm extension offices and mis sionaries In the area. A similar project with dairy goats and pigs has been devel oped In Korea. This is linked with the village development programs there. The animals for Mexico pigs, sheep, and dairy goats are being raised and donated by 1 II club members in this state, and shipped by the Heifer Proj ect to Mexico. There, they will be used by 4-H members In areas where animals are not so easily obtained. Many l II groups arc adopt ing this international goodwill program as a part of their cit izenship responsibility. It Is an o)Kirtunltv as the 4 II creed outlines to help others. All animals should be pure bred. Some clubs are buying their animals with funds they have raised tlirough various group projects. Others are grooming an animal donated by one of their own group mem bers, or In some cases, donated by some commercial producer In the area. Kach group's animals will be on display at Its county fair and the entire group will be seen at this summer's State ratr In Salem. From there, they will be trucked to Mexico.
