LAND DEVELOPMENT
NATIONAL BASIS ADVOCATED PA WELLINGTON, Dec. 8. The contention that large acreages of land in New Zealand needed help from'the State before the full development of an industry based on grassland could be reached was advanced by Mr E. Bruce Levy, director of grasslands division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, when he gave evidence before the Royal Commission on Sheep Farming. The State, he said, should help private enterprises through the difficult breaking-in period, even if that period extended for 20 years or more. The cost of development should on no account be loaded against the land. Such areas would be worth a lot to the nation' when developed, and even 50 years in the life of a nation was of little moment.
