Sheep Production Decline

There are about 5 per cent fewer sheep in the world than just before the 1var, and 8 per cent less than in the ivarlinic peak year of 1942, according to a recent compilation. In keeping with this decline, there was a reduction of 2.8 per cent in the number of Canadian sheep as at june I, 1945, fr0m 3,725,550 in 1944 to 3,621,- 800 in 1945. The world (lCCIEIISE since I942 is attributable largely to rising production costs, lccumulation of wool stocks, and weather con- ditions in Australia, South Africa, and some parts of South America. 'l‘l1e greatest drop has been in the United Statcs, Australia, and South Africa. The high level of sheep numbers in the world which was reached 1n 1942 resulted chiefly from higher prices and the demand of Allied countries for more meat and wool:

Th; total 11111111101 0f shccp in the world, amounting to about 717,000,000 head, is distri- buted geographically somewhat differently than was the case before the war. Asia now appears to have more sheep than any other continent, having forged ahead of Oceania, which 1n- cludes Australia and Ncu/ Zcaland. South Am- erica is third in sheep numbers, followed in order by Europe, Africa, and North America. Although North Anlcricn is 111st in this regard among the continents, the llnitecl Hates is anloriwg the worlds five largest sheep-producing coun- tries. t

Under the regulations each station is required to employ competent grad- irlg help, 1o use approved grading devices, and to maintain temperatures and general conditions which are not injurious to the eggs. All such stations are privately operated, and are located by provinces as follows: British Columbia, 90; Alberta, I88; Saskatchewan, 325; Manitoba, 126; Ontario, 59o; Quebec, 234; New Bruns- wick, 17; Nova Scotia, 28; and Prince Edward Island, 67.

What is bclicved to be the most helpful ally yet discovered in the battle against weeds, is a new chemical known as 2-4-D, which is a contraction of z-it-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. This is the encouraging result, although not the original invention, of a series of elaborate ex- pcrmients carried out at the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, and at several other Do- minion Experimental Farms 1n co-operation with I3 north central states of the United States. Ac- Cording to Mr. George Knowles, weed control expert, the Ottawa experiments disclosed that one application of the powerful new chemical (which the manufacturers say will be on sale in quantities in Canada early in the spring) will kill many weeds, more effectively than any oth- er chemical. It will also kill dandelions and most other weeds found in lawns, without in- jury. to the grass. It does, however, temporarily eliminate clover, but the clover gradually grows again without reseeding.
