TOLL OF DROUGHT
SEVEN MILLION SHEEP QUEENSLAND’S LOSS By Cable. — Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 10.20 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. Sir Graham Waddell, president, of the Graziers’ Association of New South Wales, after a tour through the drought-stricken areas of Queensland, said he had come to the conclusion that Australia, save for improved transport facilities, was in no better position to-day to fight a drought, than it was 50 years ago. It was depressing to see hundreds of miles of such fine sheep country temporarily abandoned. Where flocks were kept together, hand-feeding had to be resorted to, but the cost was exceedingly heavy. It was impossible to estimate the drought losses, but the accepted estimate of 7,000.000 sheep was certainly not excessive.—A. and N.Z.
