CHALLENGE TO DOMINION
LAME TRADE SUPREMACY AUSTRALIAN CAMPAIGN • MARKETS OF BRITAIN JElec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Dec. 8, 2.50 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 7. A campaign to combat the supremacy of New Zealand lamb on the British market was inaugurated to-day with the Australian Meat Board's first Aus-tralian-wide export lamb competition in conjunction with tho council of the Australian Society of Breeders of British Sheep.
The judging is being extended over six months for the all-Australian grand champions of the all-Australian Southdowns and all-Australian other British breeds. The exhibition at Smithfield of 185 carcases was visited by representatives of Argentina, Canada, the United States and New Zealand.
Mr. J. I. Hamilton, the judge, said the competition provided incentive to the producers to export lamb suitable for the Home market and which would fill the gap after the New Zealand season. The carcases entered were all neat and compact, giving a revelation of what Australia was capable of producing. Mr. McCann, the South Australian Trade Commissioner, said the board was determined to keep pace with New Zealand's publicity.
