Woolgrowers may have samples of wools graded and scoured, free of charge, by filing an application with the bureau of agriculture economics of the federal department of agriculture, where a wool scouring laboratory is now available for conducting such tests as facilities will permit. The applicant will be sent a parcel post mailing sack and instructions as to the proper method of drawing a sample so that it will be representative of any large lot of raw wool in the grease. Experiments conducted in the laboratory during the past year have yielded valuable information on scouring loss or shrinkage of a large variety of domestic raw wools. The results have proved of great interest to many woolgrowers and their practical application will enable any producer to obtain a reason- ably accurate estimate of shrinkage Cattle Trails Made History Salt Lake City.
