N.Z. Syndicate in Papua
From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, May 26.
AN enterprising New Zealand syndi cate is seeking land in Papua for sugargrowing.
Mr. Boilan, their representative, has inspected the Eastern and North-eastern Divisions and has recently visited the Brown River district near the Laloki.
This he has turned down as unsatis factory.
The Eastern Division by Collingwood Bay he found excellent, on account of the soil and rainfall, but it had already been taken up by another syndicate.
Mr. Boilan is returning to Papua shortly to seek other suitable areas.
The output of dry rubber from the plantation of Koitaki Para Rubber Estates was 21,062lb.
