WOOL IN JAPAN
Disadvantages of Growers MOST SUITABLE BREED After a visit to Japan, Mr. H. G. Pennefather, an Australian, with many years experience of sheep classing, denies emphatically in an article, the statement that Japan in a few years would be able to produce sufficient wool for her own requirements. While in Japan he had opportunities of inspecting sheep on Government and private farms, and found that so far Corriedales have been the most satisfactory, trials being already carried out with Merinos and Romneys without success. Other observations proved that the greater portion of the country consisted of stony hills and mountains, and that climatic conditions were very severe bitter cold prevailing especially in the northern districts, where all stock had to be housed in the winter.
