 and vigorous competitors for the world's trade." 



Refrigerated tonnage after the war will be more than aini)le 

 for all requirements, notwithstanding the submarines. Great

 countries are building up quite a big fleet of refrigerated 

 steamers. 



ThK following is a list of the chief STOCK-rRODUCIXG

All the above-mentioned countries possess a more or less 

 large sujiply of cattle of more or less good or bad quality. Most

 in; many of them are sparsely pojiulated. and land is to be 

 obtained at moderate cost. 



With the introduction of good stud bulls to those countries 

 which are yet in their uncivilised condition, the installation of 

 numerous dips, and with stable goverinnents, in a very few years 

 they could most of them be brought to the meat exporting stage.
