The total num- ber of Sheep and lambs if} the Dom: _.-_A___I iniun in 1923 was estimated at ; 2,753,860, of which 1.750.000 were shearahle sheep. ()t‘ that total, 907,â€" 673 sheep and lambs were in On- tario. In that year an Official bul- letin of the Ontario Department of .-\gricnlinre commented upon the state of the sheep raising industry in (Canada. “At the present time,” said the bulletin, “the sheep and lamb trade in Canada is the weak- Iest feature of the live stock market. It, is a phase of the live stock in- dustry in which not only, Ontario but the whole of, tianadais back-1 \z'ard. hut. notwithstanding this backxxv'ardness, Oniario has 33 per cent of the total number of sheep in the Dominion and leads all the other Provinces of Canada in sheep raising, emphasizing its fitness for this branch of the live stock indusâ€" try .AIn 1911, there were approxi- .AA nnA _ l’\._‘1n-‘-t cline in sheep papulation may be apparent to those engaged in the sheep raising industry.

The world." , he said. “is short of sheep and wool and their prices are and will be de- cidely hotter than those of other farm animals.” The Ontario sheep breeders who have won awards at Chicago have shown people of other countries and also farmers here, that this Province can grow a fine class of sheep of a number of breeds. They may lead other farmâ€" ers of Ontario to ask why, if the Province can produce sheep of high quality, it should not produce sheep in greater quantity?
