Is natural that the wooden industry should spring
up In primitive communities and among people
who are too poor to afford purchased material
for clothing Therefore, wool growing and manu-
featuring an industry has n place in practically
all countries. As country Increases In popula-

sheep Is reduced In more recent years a
sequence In our own West this is very apparent.
The woolgrowing Industry in Europe and
America has not kept pace with that in
