Illinois Wool Growers Asset i.ition ilic 

 lAA wool marketing' toopcrativc, lias 

 tompletcti an agreement witli Indiana 

 Wool Growers Association wherebv the 

 Illinois cooperative will sell its wool ui 

 Indianapolis instead of in Boston as has 

 been done for a number ot years. 



Ilie new agreement is expected to 

 facilitate earlier price settlements because 

 ot the nearness of the Indianapolis mar- 

 ket. 



In the past, ^'rowers .brought their 

 wool to the county pool maintained bv 

 the association, received an advance and 

 then awaited judgment of the Boston 

 market on its value before a final settle- 

 ment could be made. 



Under the new arrangement, farmers 

 will continue to tkriiver their wool to the 

 county pool but will not receive the 

 customary advance until it has been 

 graded at Indianapolis. Final settlement 

 will be made after appraisal by the Com- 

 modity Credit Corporation in Indian- 

 apolis. 



The Illinois Wool Growers Association 

 board of directors feels that the new 

 arrangement will be welcomed by both 

 grower and county pool becau.se the 

 grower will get the advantage of a 

 speedier appraisal at a nearbv market 

 and the pool will be relieved of the 

 responsibility of grading. 



Wool growers were also adxised bv 

 the board that the Commodity Otdit 

 Corporation has extended the wool buy- 

 ing program until Nov. 1. l'M6. Prices 

 will be approximately the same as thev 

 were in 194'i.

Flies are responsible for the loss of much of 

 what might have been your profits. They dont 

 take the cold cash, of course, but they sap the 

 strength of your cows, thus reducing milk 

 production. 



The losses through disease and fly -produced 

 parasites amounts to a tidy sum each year.
