Soil Erosion
THERE is reason for concern over soil erosion in Fiji and all possible methods should be adopted to arrest it.
This is the opinion of Dr. G. K. Cumber land, head of the Department of Geography, Auckland University, who was making a survey in Fiji in October.
“It is time,” said Dr. Cumberland, “that the people who use the soil—Fijians, Indians and Europeans alike —appreciated better how valuable it is. how easily it is destroyed, and how costly its wastage must be in terms of decreased yields and lowered living standards for all the people in the Colony.”
