Use Own Judgment Advice to Woolmen in 1916 Clip Sell Dilemma
The National Woolgrowers Association declined to advise wool producers on whether to sell their 1916 clip. A letter to Senator J. A. Burgena notes most inter mountain wool contracts have been made, with current prices for fine and coarse wool higher than last year. Reports say some clips sold in Dillon, Montana, and quater-blood clips priced high in Western Wyoming. The association urges growers to use their own judgment.
