stituency, traversed the problems which faced the Dominion farmers at the present time, and stated that a! last was the sheep farmer receiving the fruits of his labours, though he contended that if an average were prepared covering the past four years, it would be found that this section of our primary industries had been run at a loss to the producer. However, the indications for the future were brighter.
