ROMNEY SHEEP.
A QUESTION FOR EXPERTS.
Wellington, May 1.
At a meeting of the Agricultural and Pastore-l Association Mr Brady gave ib as his opinion that the Romney sheep now being bred and shown in the colony were not true Ronaneys. Ib would be difficult to find traa Romney sheep in the whole country now. The name ought to be altered or a new class introduced aadbe known as " the improved Romney." A member asked, "Why not tho New Zealand Romaay?" Mr Brady said that he would have no objection to that, bub he pointed out that, under existing conditions, judges were often puzzled and obliged to pass over sheep which did not show enough of Romney, although they were the best sheep. Mr Majendie supported Mr Brady'3 remarks. Acting on tho suggestion of tha chairman, ifc was eventually decided to proposal the matter as one suitable for discussion at tha forthcoming Agricultural Conference.
