LAMB EXPOET TRADE
SOUTH AFRICA ENTERS
JOnlted Press Association—By Electric Te)«graph—Copyright. LONDON, July 7. According to information received in London, several consignments of nlutton and lamb carcasses are to be shipped to Smithfield from South Africa. It is understood that experiments have been taking place for some time past in Southern Rhodesia, Bulawayo, and Natal in sheep breeding, and it is reported that a large number of farmers in the Union have adopted the down-merino cross as being the most suitable type of sheep for districts where the rainfall is of an irregular nature. If practicable, efforts will be made to delay the shipments until thefseason has passed its busiest point, and when the normal flow of New Zealand and Patagonian lambs shows signs of dwindling. South Africa is rapidly creating for herself a niche in the beef market of the United Kingdom, and after the mutton, and lamb exporting industry has become an established fact, an essay will be made to create an opening for gjputh African frozen pork.
