Lorain Wool Growers Plan Final 1937 Shipment
Lorain County wool growers prep for their final 1937 shipment to the Ohio Wool Growers Association warehouse in Columbus on June 14. Two shipments have already gone out, the second on May 17 carrying about 19,000 pounds. The Ohio association notes demand for finished products remains strong while farm prices are 5 to 10 cents lower than a month ago, predicting domestic stocks may be inadequate if current consumption continues. Farmers not rushed to sell may profit by delaying shipments to a later stage in the season.
