Better to Borrow and 

 Raise Wool Prices than 

 to Sell and Lower Them

Get a 14 -cent Advance on Delivery 

 More Later When the Wool is Graded 



Take advantage oi the 1939 cooperative marketing plan. 



You get 14 cents a pound now for good* wool, enough to 

 equal 75 per cent of parity price after grading, and the balance 

 when the wool is sold. 



You own the wool until it is sold. The advance and the 

 payment after grading are loans. Yet, you are not asked to 

 sign an individual note if you market your clip through the 

 Illinois Livestock Marketing Association. You are fxilly pro- 

 tected if the wool prices go down. 



Lost year the average local price for wool in the U. S. 

 was 18 cents. Growers like Sam Stettbacher, who pooled 

 their wool, received 21 cents. Markets reports indicate that 

 the some situation may prevail this year. 



* Adrances on lad wool are 10 cents a pound, on rejects, 7 cents.

At a recent meeting of the Mercer County 

 Farm Bureau board, the northern half of 

 Mercer County was shifted from the territory 

 assigned to the Producers Creamery of Gales- 

 burg to the creamery at Moline. The alloted 

 territory is in the Moline-Rock Island trade 

 area. The Edwards river is the dividing 

 line which leaves approximately the two 

 northern tiers of townships to the Moline 

 creamery. Service will be started by the 

 creamery just as soon as arrangements can 

 be made. 



Harold Kincaid, veteran Chairman of the 



Crawford County Livestock Marketing Com- 

 mittee, says: "Patronizing a Cooperative 

 isn't a duty, it's a privilege."
