Full concentration and transit In
storage privileges for wool and mohair
.ban been (ranted to Houston by the
Southwestern line tariff bureau com-
mtttee which mat In Oalveaton Tues-
day -eocordlng to announcement made
. her Thuraday by W. a SUley traf-
flo Manacer and E. D. Blaok manacer
of the South western Farm Bureau
. Wool and Mohair association.
J Under these privileges wool and mo-
1 hair can be shipped here stored
iaaelftod graded and sold and shipped
to Northern and Eastern mills on the
same freight rate as applicable . from
point of origin to mills without passing
through Houston
Under those privileges It la estl
mated that about 1.000.000 pounds of
' wool and mohair will be stored and
sold from Houston this year.
. The association now haa under eon-
: side ration the erection of a scouring
i ; mill at Houston. An adequate mill
. '. Would coat around 125000. The asao
elation also Is urging the erection of
. complete mill In some section of
Texas.
' ' Houston also has been given second
concentration privileges. That Is less
1 than carload lota of wool and mohair
: -' and can be sent to some town or city
for atorage until other shipments ar
live and a carload lot is obtained. The
. carload lot then Is sent to Houston
' for classification and sale.
The association was organised lasy
June. There were 170 members in
ItlaOy. There are now (00 members
. according to Mr. Black. Offices are In
the Stewart building.
- More than 1.000000 pounds of wool
have been handled here by the aasocla
ttoa since Its organization. The first
a teason la just closing and the last
' checks were being mailed out Thurs
day to wool growers who had their
products handled by the local asso
'.' elation.
The association pays the wool
grower about 60 per cent of the price
' of the wool as soon as It Is received
here. It Is then sorted and stored at
the Merchant Planter Oil mill on the
i - Clinton road until sold direct to the
mills. The association deals only with
the mills and not with brokers. When
the wool and mohair Is sold a check
for the price of the wool less the
amount first sent is mailed to the
producer. Mr. Black says some grow
ers told him the amount they first re
celved from the association was more
than the total amount they received
for wool when they handled the sales
Individually. This la not true In every
case but the association Is paying all
who belong to It he said.
"About 20000000 pounds of wool Is
raised In Texas each year and this will
