OUR wool PKODUCTION.

Sheep breeders will be interested to
note the increase of wool production
in this country during the past few
years. Mr.. George Geddes contrib
utes to the Bulletin Of the National
Association Of Wool Growers care
fully complied article OH "Wool
Growing in the United States" from
which it appears that since 1850 the
product has trebled, while it is an adj.
mittedafact that our growers have the
best variety Of sheep for the produc.
ton ofawool for clothing purposes.
While the industry has developed to
u remarkable extent the : possibilities
beforeyit are great The plains Of the
trana-M ississippi States and Of the
Pxcifc eoan afford 1 fine field, Tor 1t,
and there exists there the: opportunity
,fof the production Of fine woods, equal
,to'those' Of Australia and New Zeal.
and, and superior to those Of South
: Americas Mr.. Geddis. thinks that
these plains will eventually become
the source of the worlds supply Of
fine wools.-Ne,o, England Farmer.
