NEW USES FOR WOOL.
VARIETY DF PRODUCTS.
Members of tie Marlborough County Council had the opportunity recently of examining some interesting examples of now woollen pmlucts which have been produced by the Bradford Research Committee, an organii ation which is spending thousands of pounds in its efforts to discover new ai:d profitable uses for cheep's staple. These samples were brought back to Blenheim from Bradford by Mr. T. Tesilirnaker and were exhibited by Mr. E. J. Staco. They comprised different Materials from imitation luither in rubbor-liko composition for gumboots, waterproofed clot lis for rugs ■and overcoats, pa'ent leathers and several 'other varieties of textile scarcely recognisable as the product of sheep's wool. Though it ha§ ye, to be proved that the materials can be produced in commercial quantities at competitive prices, there seems to be every reason to believe, judging by the specimens examined, that the future of the pastoral industry will be rendered more secure as a result of the research that is being conducted.
