Counting sheep is no longer a sleepytime job as Canada takes stock of present and potential wool supplies in order to meet the threat of severed supply sources in Australasia. Last year Canada consumed 110,000,0001b5. of wool (greasy basis), apart from yardage imported in the form of wool cloth. This is 80 per cent greater than consumption in the five pre-war years, and is 7.5 million pounds greater than 1940. Of the total, only 15 per cent, came from Canadian sheep; about 75 per cent, either directly or indirectly from New Zealand and Australia. The rest was largely from other Empire sources, chiefly South Africa and India.
