USE OF STAPLE FIBRE
May Enhance Valtte of Wool Wool growerB are naturally perturbed by the developmeni of rayon and staple fibre, but so far consumption results do not indicate that the use of the natural product has been reduced. However, rayon has had marked effects on.the quantity of silk consumed, whxle the production of staple fibre has apprecxabiy advanced. Opinion appears to be gaining ground that the staple fibre is likely to prov* mere of help ♦hau hindrane* to the use of the sheep's staple by permitting the introductxon of greater variety into fabrics, and, where low priee is essential, enabling goods to be pradueed within specified selliixg Umits. Manufacturers of staple fibre are endeavouring to pusb its use, not as a substitute for wool, but for its utilisatlon in conjuhction with wool. If that policy continues, staple fibre should not have an ill effect on the sale of the sheep's product, as it will extend its use among th# world' s poorer classes, who find the constant purchase of woollen cloth iiig difixcult.
