A new industry which is be ing
tested in Belgium should receive
the attention of wool growers in
Utah, says the Ogden Standard.
This applies to Nevada where sheep
raising is such prominent in
dustry. says the Tonopah Bonanza.
The guanaco is being imported
from the west coast of South
America ard bred for its wool.
The animals when raised in
Belgium are comman ding as high
as $73 each.
The ANNA Is are hardy and are
said to produce fine. soft wool
four to six inches long. BY care
full methods herd of guanacos can
be made more profitable to the
farmer than flock Of sheep. AS
they are indigenous to Argentina,
Chilli and Peru, it is not improbable
that thousands of guanacos that
roam in a wild state in hocks on
the South American pampas and
which are easily tanned may be
captured and cared for rs sheep,
as their wool is three times as
valuable as that of the latter, and
it may become an important
export from the west coast of
