From Our Own Correspondent APIA. August 11.

A DRIVE for increased production of cocoa, copra and bananas has been started by Samoan leaders, par ticularly the two Fautua and the Legis lative Councillors.

The Samoan people are exhorted to open up new areas of land and to keep their old plantations clean and weeded.

It is pointed out that by increasing pro duction they will not only earn more money for themselves, but will also pro vide more revenue for the new Samoan Government and so help the latter in its important task of developing the re sources of the Territory.
