Cattle

FORTY head of pure-bred Friesian and Jersey cattle recently were shipped from the Navua farms of the Fiji Pastoral Co. Ltd. to Mr. Lewis Hirshon, in Tahiti. This, according to “Fiji Times”, is a most interesting development because this is the first time that Fiji has sup plied other Pacific territories with high grade breeding cattle, * and it marks the progress of the pastoral industry in Fiji.

Once, Fiji imported all its butter. To-day, Fiji not only produces all its own butter, but it also makes butter for export.

Miss Edith Williams has again taken up duties in Papua as a member of the New Guinea Mission. She was well known in the Territory some time ago, but was forced to return to Australia for health reasons. She hopes to see published this year a small book of short stories which she collected during her previous sojourn in the Mission field.
