Queensland Sugar Cane Experts For P-NG Next Year

MR. N. J. King, director of the Queens land Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations will leave for Papua-New Guinea in mid-October to make an aerial survey of the country through which a two-man sugar-cane expedition will walk.

The expedition will be made early next year by Mr. J. H. Buzacott, technologist and Mr. C. G. Hughes, a cane pathologist.

They will search first for wild canes for breeding in the Aiyura highland area, 100 miles west of Lae. Then they will comb the south-eastern coastal district, between Port Moresby and Milne Bay.
