CANADIAN BREEDERS.
Australian Treaty and Sheep Raising. ARE FLOCKS DECREASING ? ' c (Received 10 a.m.) OTTAWA, March 13. A demand for the revision of the Australian Treaty to restore duties on meats, which were in force before the .agreement, was negotiated, was urged upon the Dominion Tariff Board by the Alberta sheep breeders, who allege that there has been depression in sheep raising since the treaty became effective. They alleged that there was a decrease of 64,000 sheep last year with breeders being forced out of business. The chairman, Mr. W. H. Moore, replied that while Alberta sheep showed a decrease the other provinces showed that flocks were increasing. British Columbia was mostly exposed to the effects of the treaty, yet sheep there showed an increase. A suggested remedy was a Marketing Act and not a change in the treaty. Canadian mutton should be stamped to distinguish it from the imported product.
