MENACE TO WOOL.
ARTIFICIAL PRODUCT. WARNING BY PROFESSOR. ACTION TTRGENTIiY NEEDED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. A strong warning of the danger to tinwool industry of the synthetic product was given t>y Dr. H. G. Denham, chairman of the board of _ governors of Canterbury Agricultural College, in an address at the annual meeting of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Denham said there was a very real danger. The industry had rested too long on ite oars in trusting to the quality of its flocks. "To-day," he continued, "the synthetic product is securing an- ever-increasing hold in the textile industry, restricting into an evernarrowing circle the field'in which wool once reigned, supreme, but can this be wondered at when we have had evidence so recently of the reluctance of our own wool producers to pay half the price of a packet of cigarettes per £20 bale of wool towards the investigation of wool and sheep problems ? I have a hope, but a very remote hope, that action may be taken before it is yet too late."
