WOOL
! (To the Editor of the Herald.) J Sir,—Mr. F. Stafford appears to believe that the New Zealand farmer is not receiving a fair value for his wool. That is not so; for ■he is receiving the same value for his wool as any other farmer in the world. What the farmer has to learn is how to grow wool first. and he is not going to grow good class wool from fourth-rate lambs. My cheque for wool came practically to the samo money as it did last year or any other previous year. What is more I will state that if wool drops still lower I shall still expect my cheque to be equal to this year's. I have lived to sell washed wool at 6id a lb., and am certain r can live to sell unwashed wool at lOcl to Is a lb. .Yours, etc. BACK NUMBER.
