Tavua Farm

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, July 1.

BY the Waipahi on June 20, Mr. Basil Chalmers arrived in Fiji, bringing with him six pedigree Friesian heifers for Waidranu Farm, Vatia Point, Tavua.

This breed is becoming very popular in Fiji, and the new beasts will be an asset to Waidranu.

The farm is being developed by Mr. N.

C. Chalmers for his son, Mr. Basil Chal mers. who has just completed a course of training at the Government Agricultural College, Ruakura, New Zealand.

The heifers are from Mr. A. H. Court’s Hobson Farm, Helensville, which is re puted to be one of the finest N.Z. Friesian stud farms.
