that Sir Edward Hallstrom, of Sydney, had lost interest in his big sheep-raising project at Nondugl, in the Central Highlands of New Guinea, is contradicted by friends of Sir Edward. They say that he is more than ever deter mined to show that sheep may be successfully established in the Highlands—not in a big way, but in small flocks, so that they may have the personal care necessary to guard them against tropical diseases The August Bulolo is carrying to Lae, to be flown in to Nondugl, £l,OOO worth of fencing material — iron posts and six miles of netting —which is a personal gift from Sir Edward to the experimental station.
