From the above it is hoped that soiiie idea of the inestimable 

 value of these two properties may be obtained, and that growers will 

 endeavour as far as possible to combine fineness with length and not 

 sacrifice fineness for a little bit of extra length, as seems to be the 

 tendency to-day. 



A good super G4's to a TO's cjuality of oh" to A" long can be grown 

 very successfully on commercial lines, and this is all that the Bradford 

 trade requires. Any one attending the Coleman Street Wool Sales, 

 the world's biggest wool market, will see emphasized every day the 

 great difference in price that is ])aid I'or wools of this description and 

 for those lacking either oiic or botji these iMo})erties, 



iS'oTE by Mr. E, N. S. Wakren, Senior Lecturer in Sheep and Wool, 

 Grootfontein School of Agriculture. 



From the foregoing it is hoped that it will be clear that the fine 

 wool referred to is true merino wool, and must not be confused in any 

 way with a comjjarison between merino and crossbred or comeback, 

 as it is so called. A farmer comparing a merino wool of TO's to 8()'s 

 ([uality with a 64's quality would call the former a fine wool, and the 

 latter, l)y (M)m])arison, a strong wool, but the 64's is as much a triie 

 nuM'ino or i)roduct of a fine wo(;l breed of sheep as is the TO's to HO's 

 (|uality, and as such is — as mentioned by Mr. Kose — greatly desired 

 by the trade. Sixty-four's to T()'s is a class of wool that can be pro- 

 duced i)rofitably iu most parts of South Africa, whereas comjjara- 

 tively few parts of the country are absolutely suitable for the really 

 profitable productioji of a high class TO's to 80's quality wool.
