Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, 16 December 1924
Scope and Contents
Wood writes from the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries providing details of the investigations into the improvement of wool at the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with the University of Leeds, the Woollen Research Association and the University College of North Wales. One item in the programme concerns the results of introducing Merino blood into certain British hill breeds. He states that in later crossings it may be desirable to use Australian or New Zealand merinos but for the present the question of the inheritance of wool characters, with a future eye to the improvement of wool on a commercial scale, is the main concern.
