In Central N. Guinea
A MEETING of the members of the Hallstrom Trust was held late in June at Nondugl, in the Central Highlands of New Guinea.
This is the likestock experimental station -established soon after the war by Sir Edward Hallstrom, the Sydney philanthropist, and liberally endowed by him.
It is mainly concerned with the acclimatisation of sheep, and the instruction of the native people in the care of sheep and the effective use of their wool. The Trust has met some problems in the suscepi bility of the sheep to certain tropical diseases under certain conditions.
On returning from Nondugl, the Administrator (Brigadier D. M.
Cleland), who is a member of the Trust, expressed the belief that the establishment now is making satis factory progress and should show some good results within the next year or two.
