MISCELLANEOUS WOOLS.

In the investigation thus far described not enough of material was at hand to study satisfactorily the influence of the various wool growing sections and their climates, etc., upon the quality of the* wool produced. And in order to supply this deficiency it was determined to collect from such sections reliable samples of Merino wool, from animals descended from the pure Vermont stock, of about two years of age, twenty samples being taken for each sex in each section. The samples were contributed by careful experts in sheep breeding, and are therefore believed to be the best obtainable. They came from Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Texas, and California. All were examined by the methods already described, giving results showing fineness, ultimate resistance and modulus of elasticity, the principal data upon which estimates of value must be based.
