Sheep Farming in Iraq Wool constitutes one of Iraq’s export staples, and in common with all other branches of agriculture in the country, sheep rearing is receiving attention with a view to the improvement of this industry.

This is a reason why Iraq’s reputation stands at such a high level to-day, and why, even in the present difficult circumstances, it would be an easy matter for Iraq to float a loan, if such were desired, on reasonable terms. If Iraq had not been so. happy in her leaders the result might have been very different. To-day the country’s development might have been much further advanced, but only at the price of an unsupportable burden of foreign indebtedness, with the inevitable ultimate prospect...”
