CONFERENCE AT LAKE TEKAPO
High Country Problems HON. W. LEE MARTIN TO ATTEND One of the first official duties the Hon. W. Lee Martin, Minister for Agriculture, in his new position as temporary Minister for Lands in the absence of the Hon. F. Langstone at Geneva, will be to meet high-country runholders at Lake Tekapo to discuss the problems of back-country management. The date of the conference, which was to have been held this month between high-coun-try runholders and Mr Langstone and which has been convened by Mr T. D. Burnett, M.P., has not yet been decided. It is expected, however, that it will be held early next month, and opportunity will be taken of Mr Lee Martin’s visit to Timaru at the end of this week to arrange finally the date of the conference. During the'last month runholders in several districts have been active in appointing speakers who will represent them at Lake Tekapo. Within the last 10 days meetings have been held at Mount Somers and in .the Mackenzie Country, and it is anticipated that a very representative gathering of Canterbury highcountry men will meet the new Minister. *
