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.

4-H'ers to Send
Small Animals
To Mexico Clubs
"This little piggy went to
market," says the rhyme, "and
this little pingv goes to Mexi
co," savs many Oregon 4-H club
members.
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.
