SURVEY OF SHEEP LOSSES
GRANT FROM PUBLICITY COMMITTEE (From Our-Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, October 15. The New Zealand Wool Publicity Committee has allocated £l5OO a year to enable an exhaustive survey to be made of the serious losses of sheep which occur from year to year This decision was reached at a meeting of the committee in Wellington today. Special consideration was given at the meeting to the question of the allocation of funds for work in the interests of sheep breeders and the grant of £l5OO was made in view of the serious losses of sheep, which tend to increase rather than to decrease. In addition, a sub-committee was appointed to confer with the recently established Bureau of Animal Industry for the purpose of making full arrangements for the necessary research work to be undertaken at the earliest possible moment.
The committee also considered several other lines of investigation which should yield valuable results to sheeo growers and a special sub-committee was appointed to go into the question of co-operation with the New Zealand Woollen Mill Owners’ Association.
