LONDON, December 7.

A campaign to combat the supremacy of New Zealand lamb on the British market was inaugurated with the Australian Meat Board's first export lamb competition open to all Australia, in conjunction with the Council of the Australian Society of Breeders.

British sheep judging will be extended for six months for the all-Australian grand champion, the all-Australian Southdown and all-Australian champion in other British breeds.

The exhibition at Smith field, where there are -185 carcases, was visited byrepresentatives of Argentina, Canada, the United States, and New Zealand.

Mr. J. I. Hamilton, the judge, said competition was an incentive to producers to export lamb suitable for the Home market, and which would fill the gap after the New Zealand season. The carcases entered, he said, were all neat and compact and a revelation of what Australia was capable of producing.

Mr. McCann, South Australian Trade Commissioner, said the board was determined to keep pace with New Zealand's publicity.
