FARMING IN ABYSSINIA
WOOL GROWING INDUSTRY. ATTENTION TO SHEEP. The Italian Government is making a considerable effort to establish a wool-growing industry in Abyssinia, says an overseas journal. At present an Italian mission is buying sheep in Kenya and is transporting them by motor-lorries to Abyssinia, where they are being distributed in small lots among settlers, who are being encouraged to breed up flocks from these. Cattle, it is expected, will be introduced later, but at present it is impossible to keep pigs because of the religious objections of the .natives. Farming is said still to be on a small scale on a mixed basis.
