LINCOLN BREEDERS.

“ ANNUAL MEETING HELD ? YESTERDAY ’ VALUE OF THE BREED [J The annual meeting of the Lincoln Sheep Breeders’ Association of New a Zealand was held in Mastertan yester ; day, the president, Mr Duncan MeGre gor presiding. The annual report stated the de [maud for Lineolrus has improved, quite r a number having changed hands locallv j and 50 having been exported to the Argentine. This was very encouraging , to the breeder and there was every in* ’[dication that the demand would be £ greater in the future. Attention was £ drawn to a .report by Mr J. A. F. Roberts, Chief Biologist to the British Research Association, who said: ‘Manufacturers would like to see a return to 9 Lincoln breeding, as in no other way ; can a luminous, bright wool te produc- . ed in quantity.’ Coming from such a ’ source the importance of such a statemeat could be realised and it behoved 7 breeders to increase* their flocks so that they could mere dasily oope with the ’ greater demand for Lincoln-bred wool. It was decided to inform the Boyal ( Society that the Association took every care to see that stud Lincolns exported were up to standard and also that every assistance would be given with a view to assuring a tetter standard of unregistered animals being exported to other countries. Mr G. W. .Sellar was re-elected as auditor. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows:—President, Mr Duncan McGregor (Masterton); vice-president, Mr R. Bremer . .(Waverley); hon. treasurer. Ma- David »Donald (Mas ter ton). Council: Messrs SW. O. McKjellar (Hampden, Otago); A. rH. Storey (Te Awamutu); Sir J. G. . Wilson (Bulls); Messrs W. H.
