RAW WOOL AND YARN
I (0.C.) NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. An investigation into "the availability and cost of wool and the need for rationing is to be sought by the South Taranaki Farmers' Union, which,, at the annual conference at Hawera, decided to ask the Price Tribunal to conduct such an inquiry. The president, Mr. W. A. Sheat, said the wide discrepancy between the price received by the farmer from raw wool arid the price paid by the farmer's wife /for knitting wool should be examined. It also seemed wrong that in one of the greatest wool-producing countries of the world there should be restrictions oh the purchasing of wool. Commenting that it . took fewer coupons to buy a woollen article than it did to buy the wool to knit it, Mr. Sheat said the people should be encouraged to buy wool and do their own knitting instead of being discouraged.
