WOOL PRICES
Sir, —“Not a Woolgrower" can safely recommend collective enterprise for other people’s wool, as he has none of his own. Individual enterprise demands freedom from pools and boards and has contributed to those who have had the courage to use it. The safety of diffused investment of funds and the key to competent management is the eye of the owner. Steel, rubber, gold. wool, and other commodities will fluctuate in value and do so independently of one another. To lump them together and then dump us all into pools is a nightmare that only a man afraid to stand on his own feet would dare to ride. New South Wales farmers voted eight to one against pools and marketing by hirelings; and we owe them our grateful appreciation for such,, an excellent example. Our rulers should note that we farmers want freedom, not funk-holes called pools.—Yours, etc., H. J. BUTTLE. Darfield. September 24, 1951.
