WOOL EXPERT’S COUNSEL TO GROWERS
(P.A.) AUCKKLAND, April 29. New Zealand woolgrowers should prepare their clip so that they-always open up well to the eyes, of discriminating buyers. This farewell advice was given by the chairman of. the International Wool Secretariat in London, Dr Edgar H. Booth, before leaving for England. New Zealand had, in general, a good name- for the preparation of her wool, he said, but there were a few who 'neglected the preliminary rough classing and skirting, and caused some damage to the Dominion’s reputation. The Dominion was not sufficiently appreciative of her wool types, he added. Undoubtedly the fine grade merino produced in. the South Island to a certain small extent had -its own special qualities, and gave a delightfully soft, fine-textured material, but for durability and rugged wear the clothes made from the medium type of cross-breds were unparalleled. This was fully appreciated in the United Kingdom.
