I Farmers of Mercer county and the Greenbrier Valley are about to take another step forward in marketing their lamb cooperatively this seasonthat of selling direct to packers, says H.

M. Bowers, county agent, who explains that arrangements have been made through their cooperative producer-owned agency, the Eastern Livestock Cooperative association with headquarters at Baltimore, whereby sales will be made direct to Eastern packers. Mr. Bowers reports that the plan of selling direct to the packer has proved so successful In the central counties of the state where it has been used for the past two years that there was a 60 per cent increase in the number of lambs so marketed last year over the number marketed under the plan the previous year. He believes that farmers in Mercer county and the Greenbrier Val- lay will be just as enthusiastic about it once they have tried it, and that they will profit materially thereby.

During the marketing season this year lambs will be assembled and graded once a week at Oakvale where registering beam type scales and other essential equipment for the proper handling of the lambs will be provided by the Greenbrier Valley Cooperative Livestock Marketing association. The method of grading used by the cooperative marketing associations is to have a competent and official grader go over each farmer's lambs when they are assembled for sale. The fattest, blocklest, widest- backed, and most solidly-fleshed lambs, the cream qf the flock, are graded as "choice" lambs and marked with a blue stripe or circle. Such lambs generally sell from 25 to 50 cents per 100 pounds above the top market prices ordinarily reported The second grade or "good" lambs are marked with a red stripe or circle, and generally bring the top quoted market prices. They are not as fat, are usually a little lighter in weight, and do not dress out quite as well as "choice" or blue lambs.

The third grade or "medium" lambs are marked with a yellow stripe or circle. As a they lack fatness and form and are thinner and lighter than "good" or red lambs. Many farmers have found that it pays to hold "medium" or yellow lambs back for 40 to 00 days and feed them out so that they will grade as "choice" or blue. There are two lower grades designated as Lambs plaed In these grades are marked with an appropriate mark. Such lambs are very thin and extremely light in weight, and many of them are affected by parasites.

Ram lambs are placed In their proper grades according to quality and so marked, but those graded choice and good bring a cent less per pound than ewe and wether lambs of the same grade.
