SHEEP INDUSTRY IN THE LEGISLATIVE
AUSTRALIA
COUNCIL
VISITING ROTARIAN GIVES Agenda for To-morrow's
INTERESTING TALK
FIVE SHEEP SHEARED WHILE YOU SHAVE
An interesting address was de- livered by Mr. Reginald Walker of Adelaide, Australia, at the Rotary Club lancheon yesterday, over which the Hon. Dr S. W. To provided. There were large number of guests *present. “'.
After conveying the best wishes of the Adelaide Rotary Club to the Rotarians present, Mr. Walker touched on the geographical post- tion and climatic conditions of Aus- tralin. He them said, in part: The industry I an interested in is the pastoral industry, sheep and wool. Over 100,000,000 sheep are shorn in Australia every year. The 'usual 'methods of taking off the flooro are by hand power with blade shears or by mechanical means with shear- ing machines. To-day we do not use the former method, excent an small holdings or where valuable stud sheep are to be shorm
Some of our station properties are over 3,000 square miles, in area (one-eighth of the area of Deyion) and carry over 100,000 sheep in good season. In the early days men employed in the shearing industry usually travelled on horse back or by buggy and they had some fine horses. After borse transport came the push-hike, then the motor-cycle and now the motor car or lorry is the means of getting across the country. Recently an aeroplane was used. Quick transport is reflected in the number of sheep a man can put through in a season, us no sooner is one shearing shed finish- ed, than the men dash off to an- other several miles away and they will travel all night to get through. Sonie men travel over 2,000 miles in a season.
Payment by Results.
The great feature of our shear ing industry is payment by requita. This is remarkable in Australia as piece work is not permitted in any other industry. We could never get the work done by day labour. A fast shearer will sheer over 200 abeep in eight hours, or about five sheep while max shaves.
