which show that the average Australian
eats every year 264 pounds of meat,
which works out at an average of two
sheep and one-flfth of a bullock for ev-
cry man, woman and baby in Austral-

much as the average Englishman, three
times as much as the average French
man, and four times as much as the
average German or Swiss. In addition
he consumes about three and three
quarter hundredweights Of wheat, two
and a half hundredweights of pota-

of sugar. If he is Tasmanian he eats
