When the English botanist. Drum- mnrl, sent seed of a brilliant little plant he found in Texas home to lnlgand in 1835. it was a nine days’ wonder and figured prominently in all the English horticultural pub- lications.

The Domin- ion Live Stock Commissioner attri- butes the shortage of supply in a large degree to the holding back of suitable ewe lambs for the breeding flocks. There is now a keen and in- sistent demand for good ewe stock, and undoubtedly there is a healthy growth taking place in the industry. A steady improvement is taking place in the quality of sheep kept. The export trade is in a healthy state, the export of mutton and lamb in 1925 being the highest since 1922, totalling 2,640,600 pounds val- ued at $624,010 compared with 922,- 200 pounds at $184,423 in 1924. The monthly average prices in 1925 were the highest in recent years. In fact ther is every encouragement for the farmers to increase their flocks. Read the Classified Ads. on Page 9.
