SHORTAGE OF LAMBS
DROUGHT IN AUSTRALIA. The effect of the drought in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales in relation to Australian exports of lambs to England was referred to at a meeting of the Timaru Agricultural and Pastoral Association. Mr. Donald Grant, who has just returned from Sydney, where he exhibited at the recent Metropolitan Show, said that the drought had retarded lambs and this year the export would be considerably decreased. He had been told by many sheepowners in Australia that practically all the season’s lambs would be required for home consumption As in the past Australia produced about five million lambs a year, the drop this season would have an important effect on New Zealand, whose exports usually were sent to London some time after those from Australia.
