RESEARCH ON WOOL
£25,000 WANTED YEARLY FROM DOMINIONS SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Wed. The report of the British Research Association on the woollen and worsted industries suggests that Dominion wool producers should contribute £25,000 toward research work, which will be directed toward standardising the best quality and aiding the marketing of wool, the superiority of which as a textile is undeniable. Special investigations are needed under three heads. Firstly, development of new processes and methods of manipulation; secondly, experiments on nutrition, as these have already shown the possibility of production of mutton and fine wool on the same sheep thirdly, research into the scientific and health value of wool fibres.
The trouble is limited to financial resources. The Research Association, which now is spending over £25,000 yearly, therefore suggests that the producing side of the industry should contribute an equivalent amount.
