The fact that all Canadian wool must now be mark- eted on a graded basis is another good reason why-extra care should be tak- en ill the production and handling of this commodity if the grower is to realize full value for his product. In the matter of shearing and pre- paring wool for market the following suggestions merit special attention this year:- 1. Shear as soon as the weather will permit. Early shearing is better for the sheep, reduces the percentage of rotted fleeces and prevents the accum- ulation of burrs and brambles which would otherwise be picked up in spring grazing. 2, Do not shear when the wool is damp, If the damp shorn fleeces are rolled up and packed away the wool will become discoloured and musty and will lose much of its original mar- ket • 3.--Always shear in a clean place. Shearing on a litter-covered stable or barn floor can easily undo months of care in keeping the chaff out of the wool in winter feeding. 4, Amateur shearers should try and avoid making "Second cuts" which are short bits of wool of little value made when going over the sheep a second time. The shears or combed teeth should be kept close to the skin at all times so that the full length of the wool fibre is preserved. 5. Keep the fleeces intact when shearing. This facilitates rolling the fleeces and reduces the time and cost of the subsequent operations of grad- ing and sorting, 6, The tags and the black head 'and shank wool should be removed from the fleeces and packed separately in small bags. Wet tags rolled up inside a fleece will cause discoloration and damage to the surrounding wool. 7, Each fleece should be rolled sep- arately on a clean floor with the bright or clipped side showing and the shoul- der wool outermost. Rolling two fleec- es or parts of diffetrent fleeces together is a bad practice. ; 8. Fleeces should be tied with paper twine which is procurable in most communities from Government Agri- cultural Representatives, sheep breed- ers and wool growers' organizations and from wool dealers. Binder twine or any sisal string of like nature should never be used for this purpose. 9. PaCk the fleeces in clean wool sacks or bags after shearing. Wool should not be left lying exposed in the barn, shed or granary where it will get mixed with grain, feathers, fowl droppings, horse hair or other objectionable matter. 10. Wool should not be stored in a damp place nor •piled on the bare ground. Store in a moderately dry, cool place if such is available. 11. Market wool annually as old wool tends to deteriorate through mustiness, discoloration and the ravages -of moths. COUNTY ENGINEER REPLIES TO COUNS. STRONG OF HOWICK To the Editor Wingham Advance-Times, Dear Sir:— Another letter has been widely cir- culated by Mr, Strong of the Howick Council. This time he is particularly worried about the work done on the Auburn Hill, which he describes as "Monumental, folly". Many requests for the improvement of this road have been received, and last year a petition, signed by a large number of ratepay- ers, was presented, asking for it, The proposal to start this work was ap- proved at the November Session of the Council, and no protest from any- one was heard, though the reports and minutes of the Council were publish6d in the papers. About the first of De- cember at a time when many people in this district are not busy, the work was started, and nearly all of this idlly" wa.L e-,maltle.1 1)7 one man and one ma-chine (that. wonl(l otherwise be idle) in about two months, The ladies of this County are doing a noble work in their war efforts,* bu I am satisfied that they will, not lime unduly disturbed by the situation, araill that they will realize that the ,County Council is as conscious of the need far: war effort as anyone else,, but that they have to consider all of the people of the County, in administering ittf , affairs. Mr. Strong advised in his first let- ter that no construction had been car- ried out by Howick during the war_ Uponchecking up he finds some; if he checks further he will find tnore, and if he looks still further, he will find that the road expenditures of the Council of which he is a member are practically the same during the, war• as they were previously. This is typ- ical of all municipalities, and of the Provincial Government. The Province has been spending 'millions all over the province, some of it between ,God-- erich n.nd Clinton. It is hard to under-- stand on this acocunt, the reason that Mr, Strong should point to the County' of Huron as a horrible example;. part. icularly when his own council has no., special effort to show. Criticism of the expenditures of the County of Huron are welcome. Any' suggestion that is made for the better- ment of affairs has always been thank- fully received, and carefully consider- ed, But when criticism is accompanied, by reflections on the patriotism of the County Council, it is keenly resa-nitenft Roy Patterson, County Engineer- Goderich, March 17, 1942_ YOUR ESTATE If you want a prompt, economical, business- like administration of your estate, name as your EXECUTOR— THig STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION 372 BAY ST., TORONTO OVER 28 YEARS EXPERINCE zralzareammormeorrawerasvmaxeranzerarr—mo says Midland Shotdd Quit Ottawa, The acting Conservative leader, 1-1on.
