A German-owned business for extracting lanolins or wool grease from wool taken over by the U.S.A.. Government at the outbreak'-of war is remarkable for its suggestiveness to New Zealandcrs who aro on tho look-out for post-war enterprises, remarks a writer, in'the Auckland Star. The business referred to was evidently carried oh very extensively, as the plant included a "battery" of 44 Sharpies wool-gre_se separators, and an. inspection indicated that they were all kept fully employed. The commercial possibilities of wool grease have not so far as we know been seriously taken into consideration in New Zealand, and, it is believed that to those capable of dealing with this valuable, by-product -there is a ready field waiting to be utilised.
