Combined with his technical knowledge, Mr. Ritoh has acquired a practical under- standing of the growang and handling of wool on the, farm and together with this has. evidenced an enthusiastic and intelligent comprehension of what may be expected from the developnieet of the sheep industry in Canada thus commending himself to the atten- tion of the Commissioner ,n con- nection with the appointment to the Committee. It is felt that Mr Ritob. will be able to place such in- formation at the disposal of the Minister, his officers and of all in- terested. in sheep breeding in this country, as is likely to be particul- arly valuable in the furtherance of the scheme for the upbuilding of the industry which is now in con- templation. The other member of the Committee, Mr W A Dryden of Brooklin, Ont., is very well known to the stock breeders of Canada, The present owner of Maple Shade has fallen heir to many of the qua- lities which gave his father so large an influence in his own pro- vince, and although as vet a com• paratively young man, has acquir- ed a knowledge of the stockman's art which has already brought him to the fore amongst Canadian bree- ders. Mr Dryden's Collegiate and Agricultural education has been such us to bring him in demand in a more or less public way, and in recent years, he has been about Canada a good deal in connection with judging and other work under the supervision of the Live Stook Branch. Mr Dryden's judgment is practical and his recognized popula- rity speaks well for the confidence which may be expected from his fellow breeders in his ability to perform, with ;credit to himself and them the worn vehtennip.e alas now undertaken. In ccnbining the services upon this Committee of a practical sheep man with that of a technical expert, the Depart- ment has reason to believe that the problem of production and of mar• keting, both as regards wool and mutton, will be studied and disous- sed in such close relationship that the results of the enquiry will most successfully serve the pun pose for which it is undertaken. -After consolation with the Live Stock Commissioner, the members of the Committee have of course been allowed the liberty of depend- ing largely upon their own inita- tive in planning their route and in evolving the details of their in. vestigations. The general prorodure will however, be somewhat as fol- lows : Mr Ritch preceded Mr Dry. den to England in order to attend a number of important wool fairs, in progress during Aug. and Sept. There he will be in close associa- tion with wool merchants and with men interested or engaged in the wool trade. in its several branches and will thus be enabled to discuss with them in all its phases the var- ious details of the industry in con- nection with both home and forei- gn markets. Returning to Canada, the in- vestigators will visit all the provinces and interview prominent sheep men and manufactures in order to familiarize themselves with tb.e difficulties, drawbacks and defects in connection with conditions as they now prevail and which hitherto operated to retard the advancement of the sheep in- dustry in the country. It is expect. ed that they will gather informa- tion as to the injury inflicted on our agriculture through the decline of interest is sheep raising, that they will take note of the localities where the growing of sheep could be most easily and prontably en- couraged and that, bringing to bear the suggestions gleanedfrom their general inquiry upon the various phases of the situation as they find it in Canada, they will draft recommendations for the guidance of the Commissioner in framing, in the very near future, such a policy as will prove in the bes.t interests of tlae industry. If time permits Mr. Rites and Mr. Dryden will also visit the United States. In many States of the Union, as compared with Canada, almost uniform conditions prevail, particularly as regards the advantages that are possible and which may be deriwee 'from an Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is today the best known medicine in use for the relief and cure of bowel eomplaints.

THE DEVELOPEMET OF THE. SHEEP INDUSTRY IN CANADA. PIDawDGboivii reipCq aummpdYotoommaDN®Gb.7N»ap9NlBnaPr 4DC71i ocosapUpaanoceemaparnowciand For a number of years it has been evident and it is now a matter of common knowledge that the sheep industry in Canada, particulaaly as regards the general production of market sheep and of high class wool, has been in an increasingly decadent condition. Not only the number Of sheep owned in the country been gradually lessening but the interest in sheep growing has itself boeu on the wane. Thio census of sheep in Canada reveals the fact that the Dominiau as re gards the numbei of sheep kept compares in t at all favorably with other great egvicultnial countries of the world, Lifted, as compared with them it bras permitted sheep raisin:; tri become a somewhat in- signifioant phase of its agriculture, not wit bete nding its great a,daptab- ility both as regards ;nil and climate for the growing of mutton and wool. In 1909 according to Agricultural returns there were in the United Kingdon 31,838,833 head. of sheep, in the Argentine, 07.211, 754 head, in Australia 87, 043,. 266 head, in New Zealand 23,480,- 707, head' while the latest returns for Canada place the number at not more than 2,705,380 bead. In view et the fact that sheep have not only a.diee..et end primary value through ett•raal financial re- tains which they make to their iseters. but because they represent as well in themselves a peoniierly important asset in agriculture owing to their ability to increase sol fertility and to check and de- stroy the growth of weeds upon the land, the situationwhioh the above figures suggest appears to be a rather critical one and one which may well receive careful con sidera tion. The reasons for the decline in the sheep industry in Canada have been the subject of much comment in various ways and while these need not be discussed in this note it may be well to state that the Live Stock Branch has had its attention very urgently directed toward the present unsatisfactory status of the business and in re- cognition of its importance to the country generally, has now decided that the time is ripe for the Canad- ian Government to consider a comprehensive policy and to un- dertake definite and extended measures likely to operate toward she encouragement, improved and development of the industry as a whole.
