WOOL SCOURING.
EXPERIMENT AT ROTORUA.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Rotorua, Friday.
During a recent visit to Rotorua Mr S. Wood, the well-known wool expert, experimented in Bcouring with hot mineral water before .members of the Rotorua Chamber of Commerce. A romnsy crossbred fleece was treated in Rachel water without soap with gratifying results, the wool retaining its luste and washing out bright and clean. The possibility of the estab-
lishment of a local wool-scouring industry is present. With an almost exhaustless supply of mineral water the cost would be reduced by at least 50 per cent., with superior result. The matter is being actively pursued with a view to a fair trial.
