"The nature of our present system of wool-estimations clearly indicates that some method needs to be devised whereby the counts can be accurately ascertained while the wool is in the grease state, so that the farmer can know, with some exactitude, what he is selling and the buyer what he is getting. A standard is required for each of the various counts that can be applied to all kinds of wool in all the wool-centres of the world. This is the objective of the proposals set forth in the following article by Dr. J. E. Duerden, DIrector of Wool Research."
