Federal govern- ments, will this year be paid only on clean wool, it is announ- ced by the. Live Stock. Branch of the Ontario Department of Agrictilture4 Owing to the gate date •on, .which the .bonus was established' last year, there was not strict adherence to this rule, but there will be no exceptions this year; • • . The purpose of the bonus, it is pointed out, is to encourage the Marketing.. of clean woOl,and to give larmerS sOrne, inducement to •eleari and prepare 'their wool and market it in prOper condi- ton. This means that all foreign Material, such as burrs, ',chaff,: strawand tags should be removed from the fleece before shipping. After the fleece 'has been re moved it should be spread out on a clear area with The clipped side down-. Burrs will. generally :be fOurid on _the belly • part of the fleece.. They canna be separated from the wool so if burrs are present that portion of the fleece should be separated. Chaff is .us- ually found around the neck por-. tion. Light chaff can be elimin- ated, by simply shaking the fleece well, :but if shaking fails to take it out, then the very chaffy por- tion should be separated. The •tags are found around the rear of the fleece and must be trimmed off. What leaves the main body' of the fleece in a gbod clean con dition. All the rejected portion Of the fleece must be packaged -it1+131k-&-*Ird.rate1r-frarir the clean wool, in order that the lat- ter may be eligible for the bonus. Thee is a Market for the rejects, but, of course at a lower ,price. If the warehotse operator has to open z the' fleeces and separate Tehaffy; burry and tags no bonus will be paid. • In addition; fleeces should, 'not be tied with binder twine; as the twine becomes entangled with the fleece and can only be. sep- arated with great difficulty. Thus :fleeces ' tied with binder . twine receive no bonus. They should be tied with paper twine which can be obtained from any shear- er- or collector operating on be- half oka Government Registered Warehousei. It is also pointed out that is is not necessary for farmers to make _application4or the wool bonus of" four cents a pound. The regis- tered • warehouse forwards the wool statement to the provincial government, and the bonus will be paid direct to the farmer .on the basis of- grading and com- ments contained on the grading statement. The Dominion GoV.- ernment then reimburses the Provincial Government • fon, its half of the total bonus. 4 OTTAWA LETTER., . • • • By A. M. Nicholson, M.
