country. no matter what The original
strain Of blood may De. differs ma,eri-
ally from the wool grown in o-her
parts Of The world. As The woods OF
the Argentine Republic. South Africa
and Australia diner from one another.
So wool grown il the United STATES
differs not only from that which IS a
p-odlc, Of The southern hemisphere
but alz5 from that which is grown in
che various countries OF Europe. Even
in The United States there S q marked
difference between the products OF dif-

OF manufacture than any other kind Of
wool and The same statement holds true

and a large number Of sheep. there is
no good reason why ve should not be
