Size and Population.

Cattle raising and horse breeding are prominent Australing indus- tries. There are 1,800,000 horses and 11,700,000 cattle in the Common- wealth. Cattle stations cover enor mous areas, one exceptional lense in North Australia occupying 13,000 square miles. This is understood to be the largest cattle station in the world.

Tobacco has been cultivated com-

mercially at a number of points in Australia for many years. Efforts are being made to improve the smoking qualities of leaf grown in the established districts, and to locate new areas. The present crop yields about 1,800,000 lbs. weight of cured loaf per annum, and is in- creasing rapidly.
