Dr. n s. fuwnshend then delivered the
annual address, and commenced by alludng
to the Importance Of largely increased pro.
duction of wool in the couqtry
He showed that the quantity at present
7 produced is not threefUuThs Of that which
our manufactures require, and but little
more than enc half Of what we need, anG
that this Deficiency is likely to continue fol
many years. He said the question must b.
decided, at least practically, whether the
county will increase its nroductian or com
tinue to import; that the country is wei
adapted TO wool growing and ought not, II
t its present financial con, ,iEiun, to import
He insisted mat the West, the South ant
all the north might greatly extend their pro
duction without prejudice to other interests
; and that Ohio wool growers would not be in
jurioaoly affected by such increase Of pro
, luction.
