For Papua-New Guinea
ENCOURAGED by the tremendous suc cess of the Bomana Prison Farm, near Port Moresby, the Royal Papuan Constabulary intends to estab lish a series of prison farms in Papua and New Guinea, said Superintendent of the Bomana Farm, Inspector George Gough, when he arrived in Australia from New Guinea in the Bulolo in Au gust.
He with his wife and four sons, are on
leave.
At the Bomana farm 13 miles from Port Moresby, 40 prisoners mainly natives produce from 120 acres enough fruit and vegetables regularly for 1,400 people.
The Bomana farm in 1937 consisted of only four acres.
Output is absorbed by hospitals, Gov ernment messes, a native police train ing school and a police transit depot.
Mrs. J. K. Murray, wife of the Ad ministrator of Papua-New Guinea, spent two weeks in Sydney in August.
