Increase In Wool Urged In Virginia

Virginia could raise its wool output by 20 to 25 percent beyond this year’s two million pounds, says K A Keithly, a leading eastern expert. He notes U S imports 120 to 150 million pounds yearly despite a 34 cent tariff, and Virginia wool is light shrinking and well merchandised. Virginia Tech extension data show only five percent rejection at sale versus 20 percent in some states. The 1930s trade pact with Great Britain adds uncertainty for next year.
