From q few scattered fiocks, the in
dustry has grown into one Of con-
siderable importance. Nova Scotia
wool is Of particularly fine texture
and is in great demand by New Eng

cents for the unwashed and IS cents
for the washed product. As the
local demand for fine wool was not
sufficient to meet these prices, most
Of Nova Scotia's wool was exported
