WOOL RESEARCH.
LEVY SCHEME ENDORSED.
"BEST EFFORT YET MADE." (By Telegraph.—Owe Correspondent.) GISBORNE, this day. The proposal for a levy on all wool produced, in order to create a fund for research and improvement in the industry, was unanimously supported by a meeting of Poverty Bay farmers after they had heard the scheme outlined by Mr. E. R. Black, a member of the provisional committee set up in Wellington to investigate the proposals. Mr. Black said it would be necessary to employ a staff for research and instruction, s.nd for this an assured income would be required. -The proposed levy of 3d a bale would raise £4000 in the North Island, and he believed the farmers would secure a return of 1000 per cent on their investment. Answering a question, Mr. Black said the money would not be used for the benefit of stud breeders, but for tho benefit of the whole industry. In moving the endorsement of the scheme, Mr. J. C. Graham said it was the beet effort yet made for the improvement of the industry.
