The correspond- ent at Broken Hill, New South Wales, says that unless immediate measures to protect the flocks of sheep are taken, they will have to be replaced by cattle in the districts north of Breken HIIL The seriousness of the situation is described by John Duune, president of the West Darling Pastoralists’ associa- tion, who states that, althoughwthere hns been a good season, pastoralists in the Darling River district and north as fur as the Queensland border are faced with one of the greatest problems within the memory of settlers in that | part of the country. “Reports are coming to hand from all parts of the district,” he added, “of the enormous losses Incurred owing to the prevalence of wild dogs. Alveady country which before the drought was admirable sheep country, is now stocked with cattle, and likely to con- tinue to be stocked unless the dog nuisance s successfully dealt with.” Last year the western vermin board was formed at Wilcania and the gov- | ernment then In power granted $250,- 000 for fencing in the western division agalnst wild dogs, but owing to a change of government since that time none of the money has been forthcom- ing and the wild dogs have now come | right into the western division and are | creating havoc among the flocks. | WANTED ALL TO UNDERSTAND Cicerone at Holy Sepulchre at Jeru. salem Careful to- Impress Gospel Facts on Visitors. \ Either I was particularly fortunate or others are particularly fastidious.
