At the annual meeting of the Pastoralists’ Association, the president stated that the flocks of New South M ales had decreased six millions during the past fiye years. The Argentine flocks were also decreasing. At the same time thy world’s meat consumption was expanding and all indications pointed to a world, wide scarcity and high prices in the near future.
