LAUNCH NEW WOOL f . 

 MARKETING PROGRAM 



{Continued from page 17) 



Each •producer selling through the 

 cooperative facilities of Illinois Wool 

 will have his wool graded individually. 

 It also will get three weighings. It 

 will be weighed when it comes in and 

 again just before it goes to the grading 

 table, and then it will be reweighed as 

 it conies off the grading table in indi- 

 vidual grades. 



Speedier payment is one of the major 

 benefits expected from the new market- 

 ing plan. Manager Rouse says it is ex- 

 pected that a partial payment will be 

 advanced to the grower when the wool 

 arrives at the association's warehouse, 

 and a second payment covering the full 

 value of the wool will be made after 

 the wool has been graded, appraised 

 and final settlement received from the 

 National Wool Marketing Association. 



Amount of advance payments on 

 wool are announced each year by the 

 National at Boston and this figure was 

 not available at press time. Last vear 

 the advance was 35 cents a pound on 

 clean medium wool. 



It is plain to see that the wool 

 grower will get full market price for 

 his wool by marketing through the co- 

 operative plan. He gets accurate 

 weights and he gets paid according to 

 the individual grade of his wool. 



The government through the Com- 

 modity Credit Corporation also is 

 pledged to support the average wool 

 price for the country at the 1946 price 

 level. This CCC program applies only 

 to wool that moves through a handler 

 approved by the CCC such as the Illi- 

 nois Wool or National Wool. 



As an additional service to wool 

 growers, Illinois Wool in cooperation 

 with the University of Illinois Exten- 

 sion Service and a clipper manufacturer, 

 is sponsoring three shearing schools. 



They will be held as follows: March 

 15-16, Roseville, south of Monmouth; 

 March 17-18, U. of I. College of Agri- 

 culture, Urbana, and March 19-20, U. 

 of I. Experiment Station, Dixon 

 Springs. ; • ■ _ .1/ ., ;, ::;•■
