The Wool Industry in South Africa
Letter from MS, Bartle#, Bloemfontein, O.F.S., Africa.
tc
Underwood & Underwood
Weaving woolens- with Primitive loons In Africa,
Note the Overseers.
The Union of South Africa is
rightly classed among the great wool
producing countries of the world.
- Climatic conditions ,there are admir-
ably adapted to breeding and rais-
ing of the Merino type of sheep
with a strong, staple wool.
f A. large part of this country- is
suitable only for the raising of sheep,
and the government is making pro-
gressive and intelligent efforts to
''improve,both the sheep and the man-
ner of preparing the wool for mar-
ket.
Jackals being a strong menace in
South Africa, long-time government
loans are extended to sheep owners
for the erection of jackal -proof fenc-
ing. Government sheep experts are
maintained permanently in allotted
districts so that their services and
advice may be assured :at a nominal
The mutton sheep of South Africa
is the fat -tailed, black -headed Cape
—a non -wooled sheep. • As no cross-
breeding for mutton lambs is done,
the wools are purely Merino in char-
acter. �t
Progress in this South African in-
dustry is partieularly noticeable in
the harvesting, Despite the fact that
Kaffir labor can be secured at the
equivalent. of $3.36 per month; there
is a trend towards the modern shear-
ing machine as ,against the age-old
hand blades, which, even on this
continent, have not been discarded
by many otherwise entirely progres-
sive wool ,,raisers.
A study of this fact, however,
readily, reveals the reason for it,
Whiie there hi a first cost for the
machine,; the unskilled black adapts
.hiinself to its use much more readily
thein to the hand blades, and soon
does a remarkably smooth job of
shearing With the Machine.
Oiled adapted to the, use of tile
tiiach,
hine its eeotioniic value is de
mtlonstrated in the Materially great.
el: number a' sheep shorn daily, the
better market value oat tie *OA 00
Four at a k,ne. Kaffir children
fewer maimed sheep, and not least
important, the additional 5% to 12% ..
more wool obtained with the ma-,
chine over and above the amount of
wool secured with the hand blades.
As a, consequence, the machine ' re-
solves itself into a small investment
with certain and big returns.
Steadily, the science of wool -mar-
keting An South Africa is fast ap-
proaching the scientific efficiency of
the Australian marketing plan,
which is, without, doubt, the most
practical and efficient in existence
to -day. '
Considering ,,that the four prov-
inces, Natal, Transvaal, Orange Free
State and Cape Province, which
comprise the Union of South Africa/
have over a million square miles
less of territorythan the populated
Provinces of Canada, it is surprising
to note 'that thele contain over ten
tunes as many sheep as the whole
of Canada. The Union of Smith
Africa ranks about fourth among
the countries of the world in sheiip,
population. These points alone put
that country in line as a strong con-
tender for future leadership in ,the
wool industry.
It Le interesting to note, however,
that the great bulk of their pro.
gressiveness is due to quickness in
observing , the advantages o''t mod-
ern implements and machintyry and
up-to-date, methods and discarding
the old ideas that are not nearly sd
profitable,

The coming Dominion Redpath
Chautauqua will bring to this corn-'
munity a notable Canadian in the per-
son of ,Harold R. Peat, better known
as "Private" Peat. This young luau
volunteered in August 1914 at Ede
monton, Alberta, with the Ninth Bat-
talion of the original First Division,
He trained at Valcartier and m Eng-
land was transferred to the Third
Battalion, He fought in France with
C. Company of that battalion under
Captain Streight, ' His regimental
number was 18535. Mr. Peat fought
through -the war as a private and was
severely wounded, having his right.
lung blown out and his right shottl-
der blown off,
It was through a letter to a young
friend in Edmonton, Lyn. Tipp, des-
cribing the second Battle of Ypres
that Peat started as a writer and spea-
ker. For upon his return to Canada
after two, years in the Arrn.y, he was
immediately beseiged. by _'the Red
Cross and other societies to tell of
his experiences. This he was :ableto
do, and so efficiently was it done that
offers began to pour in from such
magazines as McClure's McLean's,
The American, The RedCross, .some
of the syndicates, etc., asking for ar-
ticles.
In less than one year after his re-
turn he was married to Louisa'Small
of the London Daily Chronicle staff,
whom he met overseas and he made a
successful lecture tour of the .United
States and Canada.
During this time the Bobbs Merrill
Co., of Indianapolis and New York,
published the book which made Peat
famous internationally "Private Peat."
Mr. Peat then became correspondent
for upwards of one, hundred newspa-
pers, his writings being syndicated
under the Scripps -Booth and McClure
syndicates.
In early 1917 Peat joined in the or-
ganization of the G.W.V.A. and was.
sent as Chairman of the Northern Al-
berta delegation to the first conven-
tion of the G.W.V.A. at Winnipeg,
lie became one of the founders of
•
this great veterans' body. It is in-
teresting ' •to know that the first.
week's salary•that Peat earned in the
United States, '-augmented by certain
amounts, totaling' 5oo.0o in all, he
gave toward the Edinonton Memorial
for the G.W.V.A., which made hiin
the first donor to this memorial—the
finest built in the Domini& since the
war.,
During the war, when appearing
for the Red Cross and other patriotic
organizations, Peat made it a prin-
ciple not to accept one dollar for hien=
self from a Canadian audience.
Enormous meetings ' were held at
Massey Hall in Toronto, Montreal,
Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and
Edmonton. These meetings alohe
gained 'upwards of'$xo,000.for the var-
ious Service Organizations.
In the United States Peat helped
to organize the Speakers' Bureau un-
der Doctor Garfield in the Fuel Ad-
ministration, and personally raised ov-
er five millions of dollars for the
American Red Cross, selling upwards
of twenty-five millions in Liberty
Bonds.
Mr. Peat has spoken to over three
thousand individual audiences in Ca-
nada, the United States, Australia,
New Zealand, the West Indies ancl
Europe in the past ten years, an ap-
proximate count of over a million
and a half people. His writings have
been read by prpbably more than fif-
ty millions of people and the dramati-
zation of his books on the screen by
the Famous Players and Paramount
people have been seen by millions of
movie fans.
And in all this time Peat has never
failed to remember his Canadian Citi-
zenship and his loyalty to his coun-
try, and constantly has boosted Can
ada all over the world, ti
In his present Chautauqua tour
Peat is giving a lecture based on the.
same subject as his latest book, "The
Ine.cusable Lie." So logical and
profound and new ere the ideas here
discussed that three years ago at San
Francisco Peat was cheered by the
delegates of forty-seven nations at-
tending the
t•-tendingthe first world Conference on
Education, He was invited to give a
lecture at the second Biennial Con-
ference on World Education held in
Edinburgh, Scotland, last year, before
the delegates pf 'sixty different nal
tions,
Mr, ,Peat is secretary of the Asso-
ciation for Peace Education, which
he had the honor of founding in 5922,
with headquarters in Chicago, This
is the fust organization of its kind in
the history of the world and it has
ttinde.rtaken the task of the reading
and ainalyzation of school textbooks
in everynation and what children
are taught about war in prose, poetry,
Music and history; ry Cr. Peat's work
hat
has been cited in the Canadian House
of Commons and itt New Zealand
Parliament, and ,also in the Anstral-
ian Senate,
