Wait, Feb. 16.
IT has long been advocated that steps should be taken to foster the growing of marketable agricultural products in Morobe so that should gold production fall below economic levels, Wau would not, like “Sweet Auburn,” become a de serted village.
For some time coffee, grown by Mr.
C. L. B. Wilde, has been obtainable from local stores, but only in limited quanti ties, unworthy of what is considered to be a very fine product. Mr. Wilde has cleared a large area of his property near Wau for this purpose, and what may be the starting point of another primary industry for Morobe, will be watched with interest.
