Scouring Baling And Transporting Western Wools PDF Download

Excerpt from Scouring, Baling, and Transporting Western Wools: Practices, Problems, Possibilities Topmakers and worsted manufacturers now utilize, at least to some extent, the limited wool scouring facilities in the producing areas. These developments tend to support industry research which indicates that long shipments Of scoured baled wool do not significantly increase fiber breakage during subsequent carding and combing Operations, thus decreasing the proportion Of top Obtained Along with this, woolen manufacturing which does not require combing has become more important. The location of the wool processing industry is changing. The woolen and worsted industries have tended to move Out of New England but have been slow in bringing their scouring Operations with them. The purpose Of this study is to determine and evaluate the more important factors relating to wool scouring and baling in the producing areas, particularly the West, and to appraise the possibilities of reducing transportation and other marketing costs. To accomplish this necessitates (a) determining the major wool production areas and the quality and quantity of wool produced, (b) considering present and probable future locations Of woolen and worsted manufacturers, (c) developing cost information on baling and scouring Operations, (d) considering the response of the woolen and worsted industry to wool scoured and/or baled in producing areas, (e) developing methodology to estimate potential transportation benefits, and (f) evaluating the net effect of these factors.
