More Cattle for N. Guinea

From Our Own Correspondent

P. Moresby, Feb. 20.

COCONUT Products Limited of Rabaul (Carpenters) have im ported another large consign ment of cattle from Australia for their plantations in the Gazelle Peninsula. These arrived on the Lautoka early in February from Cairns. They are Shorthorns from the Mt. Garnet district in Queens land, and several Zebus from Fiji —the company’s second consign ment from Fiji during the last two years. It is hoped to cross-breed a type of cattle specially suited to tropical conditions. The firm has already made great progress in re establishing cattle on its various plantations.

A son, Christopher John, was born to Mr. and Mrs. John Siegart, of the CSR Co., Tavua, at Lautoka Hospital, Fiji, on February 9.
