DROUGHT-STRICKEN N.S.W.
CALAMIT! TO THE COMMONWEALTH. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. Received November 21, 9.40 a.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 21. Alderman Brooks, speaking at the Millions Club, said that threefourths of New South Wales was drought stricken. The dead sheep numbered millions, and it is feared that instead of normal lambings of eight million there will he less than two million. The loss of live stock through the drought will probably exceed fifty million sterling. It is not merely a disaster, but a calamity to the Commonwealth.
