Bree,iing for Wool.

Bulletin IT'S of the Michigan Expert
ment Station says: The present ten
dency of the wool market points tc
a continued active demand for f1ne
grades of wool which the Merino alone
produces. Michigan has long since
proven her adaptability to the Merlno
The Merino was brought to Michigan
probably as early at 1928, and from
that time until the beginning OF the
depression in the wool industry the
Michigan Merino was we'll and favor
ably known all over the world. The
successful breeding Of Merino sheep is
therefore assured; and If the adapt
ability OF the Merino to Mtchigan's
conditions Is proven, and no one will
deny it, then successful wool growing
in Michigan cannot be questioned. We
speak of the Merino. more particular
ly, in connection with the wool in
dustry. because the Merino has always
been recognized as the standard wool
sheep of the world. The Merino has
been bred and fed for the production OF
quantity and quality Of fleece for gen
erations.
very large percentage Of the wool
produced in the United States is cross
bred wool. Thst Ia, OF the wool reach
ing our markets, but small percent
age, relatively speaking, comes from
pure-bred sheep, even If we take the
total product from all the breeds OF
sheep having recognized registry as
sociations into account.
The tleeces Of wool which are graded
by local dealers or commission men are
seldom opened. The sorting process
is much closer and more accurate
method of classifying woods. Before
the wool is secured it is generally sort
ed. The expert wool sorter opens the
fleece and removes a portion OF it here
and there and throws it into separate
piles or baskets. The number of sorts
of wool in tleeces varies greatly, rang
ing from two or three to five or six
sorts from the same fleece. 1t has
been found that fleeces from pure-bred
sheep do not, as a rule, have az many
sorts of wool in them as those taken
from srade and cross-bred sheep.
Fleeces uniform in quality and
length of staple are most desirable for
manufacturing purposes. Consequent
ly, il We wish to produce woods most
desirable for the manufacturer We
must not cross Unfortunately. We
can use for the foundation stock of
flock grade Or native ewes, and by sys-
tematic grading up with some definite
breed Of sheep we can produce more
