. Canadian journal of agricultural science. Agricultural Institute of Canada; Agriculture. 170 SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE April, 1921. the finest and bi-ightest wools to reap the benefits of better methods of management and breeding. Consolidated grading also reduces costs ^ery mat- erially as there is little or no loss of time on moving co^s. In addition to the regular grades provision is also made for at least fifteen main classes of reject wools. This minute classification again facilitates sales to the greatest possible degree. In the matter of wool qualities Canada stands on a very high plane. The bulk of the combining wools are suitable for the manufacture of high-class fabrics, but unfortunately we have not developed an extensive worsted industry for using the home gro\vn produce. The result is that for the most part Canadian Comb- ing" Wools have had to find a market outside the Dom- inion. The clothing wools are also mainly of the finer grades and have usually found a ready market at home. Gracling and improvement in preparation for market has had a very marked effect in bringing our wools into more general use by Canadian mills. A number of mills have used Canadian wools for the first time tliis year and express general satisfaction as to grades and qual- ities. It is hoped, therefore, that the ;iome consumption of Canadian wools will inci-ease from year to year. A closer study is being made of grades to obtain a more thorough knowledge of their respective marketing values. Tliis year a sorting test was made of each grade by provinces and in addition to acting as a check on the. Early method of delivering wool at local grading centres. grading work it has served to point out where many grades are lacking in certain particulars and is sug- gestive of certain phases of improvement work which might be undertaken. Owing to the general demand for a finer class of goods and also to the fact that tliis de- mand is likely to continue as a result of a higlier plan
