THE WOOL INDUSTRY
(To the Editor.)
Sir,-Refernng to the letters which appeared lately on the. price of wool, it seems to me the farmer, wants a little more foresight if the price of wool is notgoing to fall below a living price. The-a are large competitors wHo are out to beat T™™. K- yon **- Probab'y the main one. i?, 7,™ „S e Paction of rayon in lbs was 141,000,000, growing steadily until in 1923 ™„re™! led tbe __antic-figure of 3_3,2-V 000. These are world figures. Now take the New Zealand figures tor wool. As compared with 1824 figures wool produced in this country showed a decrease of 4V3 million pounds. I agree with you. first correspondent that the medical associations could do a great deal by giving their opiuion on the health value of woollen clothing. It would greatly assist-an industry that needs all the assistance it can be given if New Zealand is to remaia prosperous.— l am, etc., N. 8. LOWRY. 24th October.
