Moths Attack Wool
Swarms of moths have been attacking wool stored since the war's end in the Agricultural Hall, New Plynmuth, and damage to some bales is reported to be already extensive. Half the hall is filled with about 1000 bales estimated to be worth £35,000. The Taranaki Agricultural and Pastoral Society, which has not held a winter show for eight years, has written to the New Zealand Wool Disposal Commission seeking to have the wool removed.
