AMERICAN WOOL CLIP
is NOT WELL HANDLED
Suffers When Placed In Competition
With That Of Australian
Herders.

That from 10 to % per cent of the
value Of the American wool crop is lost
annually through the neglect of q few
simple measures is announced by the
Department of Agriculture in a prelimi-
nary report Of its investigation into the
present methods OF marketing wool. Ac-
cording to the report. when Australian
and American woods are placed side by
side the results OF the poor handling
Of the latter product are SO noticeable
that its price is adversely affected.
Figures prepared by the bureau Of sta
tistics." says the report, SHOW that at
the present time about one-half Of the
flock owners sack eve, lamb and buck
wool separately, about 60 per cent sep
arate the black heeces and tie with pa
per twine, and less than one-half put
tags in separate sacks. 1t Is pointed out
however, that the correspondents who
took the trouble to answer the inquiries
of the investigators and from whose re-
plies these statistics are compiled pre-
sumably represent the more progressive
element in the industry. and that If II
were possible to obtain the facts from
every wool grower in the country the
percentage OF those using the improved
methods would be found to be much
lower.
THE remedy. the investigators declare,
Is to raise the reputation of q locality
by an agreement among the growers
not to permit any poorly handled wool
