EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:

If these methods and the standards obtained by means of them were extended to actual working processes and material, manufacturers and breeders alike have nearly perfect means for the comparison of their products and exact determination of differences upon which important questions may turn. Control of the products of the woolen industry by this means may become as ready as control in the industry of iron and steel is by chemical analysis, and I firmly believe that its application by breeders of standard flocks, at least in making selections of breeding animals, will do much to improve the quality of our fine wools.
