APIA, July 5.
LATELY a number of bush land plots, belonging to the New Zealand Reparation Estates, have been leased on reasonable terms and conditions to local residents. The land is suitable for banana cultivation and is to be used mainly for that purpose.
Commencing next April, two steamers monthly are to load bananas here for the New Zealand market, so that there is plenty of scope for banana growers. The policy of the Reparation Estates in mak ing Crown lands available in small plots and on liberal terms to local people is welcomed.
