HIGH LAMBING PERCENTAGE
ESTIMATES FOR NORTH ISLAND. By Telegraph.—Press Associ.tion. Wellington, Nov. 11. From information furnished by the inspectors of stock in the various districts in the North Island, the average lambing for the current season in that part of the Dominion is estimated at 87.56 per cent., compared with 84.61 per cent, last year. The 1929 annual sheep returns show 8,820,536 breeding ewes, and from these figures the number of lambs this season is estimated at 7,723,523. Experience has shown that these estimates are usually very close, being if anything on the conservative side.
The South Island figures will not be available until next month.
