London, Sept. ( Gp1-Nn animal grating experiment on an unpry- cedented scale has been annolncrd by Serge Noronon 1he famoua French rejurrnatjon expert. who ut- tained world wide notice by his ,>- periments with monkey glands
 Noronoff revealed that hcgmuing on October i. he would conduct inc experiment in his lahrItorN at the College De France in Paris, rNpocf- ing to raise q breed of 'supor-shrru' which in the next few years would increase French production of wool and mutton 25 10 B per cent.
 The operations on thr sheep s,,- lected for inc experiment will hn performed in tho presence of amy veterinarians that foreign GoNnru- ments might desire to send. Noro- noff said, adding that he hoped 10 convince skcptics Of the efficacy of his gland congratulations.
 "Immediatcly after heinz graft.l." Noronoff said, '1h" animals will be taken out Of my hands and turned over to the government. Al the same time. there will be turned over pri- vate f1ocks which will be inspected monthly by officials Of rommittcr formed of distingutshp@ professors of the two most important 1ct"ri- nary schools in I'rancc.'

 Three years rom the date Of the experiment, French "centrdl wool committee" will summon am intrrua- tional sheep conference in Paris, ut which the worlds experts will br tn- vited 10 compare the two flock, of sheep, totallng 4,000 animals. Two thousand will he offspring of nui- mals grafted by Noronof next Oc- tober and the remaining 5000 will be non-graftsi animals of the same age turned over to the control c0m- mittce on the same day as inc grafted flock"

 To Meet Two Problems
 "The whole thing is. living con- ditions throughout the world are changing-for instance, as people abandoned cotton for wool so the demand for wool is increasing. Like wise, the demand for meat through out the world is increasing. SImul- taneously. however, the production of meat is decreasing, if anything, owing to several causes including the exodus from the country to the city, which reduced the number of farm hands Another factor is the intrusion Of factories into the coun-
