Estimated production Of wool IN
he world Ia 1895 was 2G92, 9XG.776
ounds. while the wool using popula
ion at that time WAS estimated az
2S,3S6.225 people. At the present
me the wool using populatfdn,is 6l0.-
81 ,50S people, an increase OF sl.a65,- .
So The worlds wool production in
le same period has increased ILL.,
49.773 pounds II will he seen that
le increase IN production has not
ept pace with the increase in popu-
tion, Tor the per capita production

zen reduced TO AZ pounds at the
