SHEEP FOR CANADA.
DEPRESSION IN INDUSTRY. AUSTRALIAN TREATY BLAMED. (United Press Association— Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m ) OTTAWA, March 13. A demand for revision of the Australian Treaty to restore the duties on meats in force before the agreement was negotiated, was urged upon the Dominion Tariff Board by Alberta sheep breeders, who stated that there had been a depression in sheep-raising since the Treaty became effective. They =tated that there had been a decrease of 64,000 sheep last year, and breeders were being forced out of business. The chairman (Mr W. H. Moore) replied that, while in Alberta sheep showed a decrease, in other provinces the flocks were increasing. British Columbia was exposed; to the effects of the treaty to the greatest degree, yet sheep there showed an increase. He suggested that the remedy was a Marketing Act, not a change in the treaty. Canadian mutton should be stamped to distinguish it from the imported product.
