BEEF INDUSTRY
DECLINE IN QUEENSLAND SALE OF SHORTHORN STUD [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT] SYDNEY, Feb. 17 The serious position of tho beef-pro-ducing industry in Queensland is reflected in tho announcement of tho sale on March 6 of one of the best-known beef Shorthorn studs in Australia, that of Mr. J. T. Scrymgeour, of Netherly, near Warwick, who lost his sight during tho war. Mr. Scrymgeour stated in an interview that he intended to sell the main body of his herd of purebred beef Shorthorns, retaining only a few as a hobby. If prices improved, he might breed a few more, but in the meantime lio intended to turn his attention to breeding Clydesdale horses. "I am selling out because it does not pay to keep going," he said. "The beef industry in Queensland is in such a bad state that there is very little demand for the best stock. Our beef herds are definitely deteriorating. The demand seems to be getting near vanishing point."
