Wool Prices Rise Amid Shortage and Tariffs
The Montana Wool Growers Association says a nationwide wool shortage will push 1922 prices higher. Montana offers on wools range 30 to 35 cents, with Nevada and Utah wools around 30 cents. The Montana Wool Acceptance Company, backed by bankers, shipped over three million pounds to Chicago last year, netting farmers about 22.5 to 25.5 cents per pound fob Boston. Prospects look good as stocks shrink and demand rises, but contracting wool before shearing is discouraged to protect producers. The group urges closer banker producer cooperation to develop permanent marketing and financing methods.

The text outlines a seasonal plan where plowing is followed by a subsurface packer or disc, then shallow cultivation of weeds when they appear.
