BY the kssociosed Press

SYDNEY. Aug 17.-GOVernment
agricultural experts said today that
winter drought which has turned
pastures into dust and shrivelled
young wheat, would rob the world
of about 10000 900 bushels of Aus
tralian wheat and an unpredictable
amount of meat and butter this
year.
In the past few weeks thousands of
sheep and many cattle have per-
ished in the drought stricken north
west and central areas Of the state
of New South Wales and in South
ern Queensland. Indications were
that if rain did not come immedi-
ately 100000 sheep would be
threatened
A recent survey of the wheat belt
indicated that this years harvest
would yield only about 30,OO0.000
bushels. as compared with 63 900 600
for last year. Government wheat ex-
perts said, however. that if rains
came within the next few DAYS it
might be possible to salvage 40,-
900, 900 bushels.
