SHEEP-STEALING RIFE
MOTOR-TRUCKS BEING USED AUSTRALIAN FARMERS' LOSSES Complaints of the prevalence of sheep6tealing were made at a meeting of the Ballarat Agricultural and Pastoral Society recently. Mr. Neil Watchorn, manager of Eangi Willi estate, Skipton, said sheep-stealing was being facilitated by the use of motor-trucks. Fifty to 60 sheep a month were being stolen from his property.
Mr. W. Vaughan, Learmonth, said that sheep were being stolen " a truckload at a time " in his district. Reports from New South Wales showed that the position there was no better. It was decided to seek the co-opera-tion of other societies in having more effective steps taken to chock sheepstealing.
