THE AUSTRALIAN TARIFF
DUTY ON RAMS WANTED. SCRUBS PROM NEW ZEALAND. (Pre» Association —By Telegraph—Copyright) MELBOURNE, December 15. An application baa been made to the Tariff Board on behalf of the Australian Society of Breeders of British Sheep for the imposition of a tariff duty on rams of more than three years old not registered by an approved society or stud. Mr .Tames Aitken stated that it had become the practice for New Zealand sheep dealers who were not breeders themselves to export scrub rams, the residue of sheep sales, to Australia. Profits ranging up to £IOOO had been made from one shipment alone of these inferior animals. The culls were sent to Australia, and the progeny of these rams were having an inimical effect on Australian flocks, and a serious state of affairs would arise in tiie wool and frozen meat trade.
