Why Fine Wool?
Fine wool will always command the best price. A pound of any finest wool will spin a thread 28 miies long. In grazier parlance it •has a count of 90. The less the wool count the less the spinning quality. Counts go as low as 32, nmp above 90, but wool men accept the 90 count as our best wool. There you have the' reason for the struggle to produce fine wool- and the worM demand for it. — A~Victorian sheepman. Tpmiites In Timber - The Auckland Harbour Board is concerned at the amount of termite-infected timber... being shipped to New Zealand from Australia. In a resolution yesterday it urge'd the Government to take effective preventive action. The Government's attention will also be drawn to the fact there was delay in the working of the port through the discovery of infected dunnage and cases in the Koromiko eariier in the month.
