AUSTRALIAN SHEEP
QUALITY IMPROVED. BY NEW ZEALAND IMPORTATIONS (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. The opinion that beneficial results had been obtained in Victoria and New South Wales through the importation of New Zealand stud sheep was expressed by Mr S. O. Wood, Merricks, Victoria, a well-known Australian breeder and veterinarian, who arrived at Auckland by'the Awatea. Mr Wood has visited New Zealand previously to buy New Zealand stock, and his present mission is to attend Southdown sales in the Manawatu. Some good types of Southdowns had been obtained in New Zealand on a former visit by Mr Wood, who said that one of his most successful purchases in the Dominion was a Southdown ram from a Wairarapa sale. The ram, which brought highest price at the Sate, was bred by Sir William ryReferring to the present season in Australia, Mr Wood said his property was in what was regarded as a fairly wet part of the country, but it had felt the effects of the drought this season. There had been good falls of rain recently, and a wash-out had occurred through floods in the Golden Valley district, which experiences severe droughts.
