IMPROVEMENT IN DENSITY AND
WEIGHT.
Not only had the production of
wool increased actually, but relative
ly to the number Of sheep. Owing
to favorable and permanent legisla-
tion wool growers have improved
their flocks By raising better breeds,
and thus increased the weight of
fieeces. In 1910, according to the
census, the average weight Of farm
fleeces was 1.S5 pounds 1850, 2.42
pounds; 1860, 2.6S pounds; 1880,
4.76 pounds. Says Mr.. Dodge in
commenting on this.
The Improvement in density and
weight OF fleece constitutes the great
advantage that the manufacturing
demand has made rather than IN.
crease of price, which tends to stead.
mess and cheapness in material and
product, by the full development of
the manufacture.
Another point is the higher value
Of American woods. The imported
woods of the last FIVE years consti-
tute nearly one-ffth of the quantity
manufactured, but it is little more
than tenth of the value Of wool
manufactured. This shows that
under a sufficient tariff American
growers have gone into the best
qualities of wool With this enor'
nous increase in production, has the
price been increased to the consum-
erf Not at all. ! give the total az
'erage prices, in gold, Of domestic,
fine medium and coarse washed
fleece wool for each year from 1859
to 1884, and Let The reader judge for
himself:
