High Country
Sir, —At the recent meeting of the South Island high country sub-sections of Federated Farmers, comments on and criticism of an article published in the Journal of the Tussock, Grasslands and Mountain Lands Institute, seem to have been taken personally and in the wrong spirit First, the term, “high country,” is loosely used, and should apply only to highaltitude lands, say, over 3000 ft, while the term, “lowaltitude tussock grassland” should apply to the lower country on which improvements and increased stbck production are possible. Today we are in a changing
world where there are demands for both production and conservation. Scientific knowledge, data, and information must be used to the best advantage for the nation as a whole. The writer of the article in the journal is to be congratulated on his frankness, and for the forsightedness of necessary change within the land management of the loosely-used term, “high country.”— Yours, etc., SPECIFIC. June 22, 1966.
