SHEEP FOR THE EAST
JAPANESE ACTIVITY BREEDING IN KOREA (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, last night. The possibilities of breeding New Zealand sheep in Korea are to be investigated by Mr. K. Sakamaki, an officer of the Japanese Government, who arrived from Sydney by the Niagara. He will spend about two weeks in the Dominion studying different breeds of sheep to determine whether they are suitable for Korean conditions. Mi‘. Sakamaki, who is attached to the Bureau of Industry in Korea, has only a slight knowledge of English, and, therefore, was unable to give much information regarding Ins mission. He said, however, that climatic conditions in Korea were similar to those in New Zealand, and it was hoped that sheep could be reared there successfully. Mr. Sakamaki will return to Japan on the Brisbane Maru Which sails from Lyttelton on July
24'. The vessel will take some hundreds of stud sheep purchased by Japan. Six Japanese have been specially selected to care for the stock in transit.
