S.I. WOOL MEETING

Suggestion To Hold School A change in the form of the South Island Wool Association’s annual conference was suggested to its annual meeting by Professor A. E. Henderson, professor of wool science at Lincoln College. He proposed that in place of the annual two-day meeting there should be a wool school held for a week once every four years, for a rather smaller number of persons than now attending the conference. The association has been meeting at the college. The chairman, Mr H. Munro, said that this was something that the executive would have to consider. At a meeting of the association’s new committee later, however, the feeling seemed to be that the long intervals between such meetings would lead to the break-up of the association in its present form. Mr R. Iles was elected chairman of the association for the new year. He is wool supervisor for the National Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand, Ltd., in Christchurch. The committee of the association will comprise: Messrs H. Munro (Dalgety and New Zealand Loan, Ltd., Christchurch), Iles (National Mortgage, Christchurch), M. M. Agar (New Zealand Farmers’ Cooperative Association, Christchurch), G. Bragg (Pyne. Gould, Guinness, Ltd., Christchurch), A. G. Coutts (wool scouring industry), J. S. Chisholm (freezing industry), J. C. Simpson (Lincoln College), B. Fitzpatrick (Dalgety and New Zealand Loan, Blenheim), F. Ward (Ashburton), L. F. Moffat (Wright Stephenson and Company, Timaru). P. Smith (National Mortgage. Dunedin), and G. Calder (J. R. Watson's. Invercargill).
