LAMB MARKET
AUSTRALIA’S BID. TO OUST NEW ZEALAND. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received December 8, 11.55 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 7. A campaign to combat the supremacy of New Zealand,lamb on the British market has been inaugurated in the Australian Meat Board’s first Australia-wide export lamb competition in conjunction with the Council of the Australian Society of Breeders of British Sheep. The judging is being extended over six months for the all-Australian grand champion, the all-Australian Southdown champion, and the all-Australian champion in other British breeds. The exhibition at Smithfield of 185 carcases was visited by representatives of the Argentine, Canada, the United States and New Zealand. Mr J. I. Hamilton, the judge, said the competition was an incentive to the producers to export lamb suitable for the Home market and which would' fill up the gap after the New Zealand season. The carcases entered were all neat and compact—a revelation of what Australia was capable of producing. . Mr McCann, the South Australian Trade Commissioner, said the board was determined to keep pace with New Zealand’s publicity.
