ALLEGED IRRIGATION SEEPAGE
FARMERS TO REQUEST PROTECTION The Minister of Works (Mr W. S. Goosman) will be informed of “the need to protect heavy lands beside irrigation projects from seepage.” This was decided by the executive of the North Canterbury branch of Federated Farmers at a meeting yesterday. The Mid-Canterbury and South Canterbury branches of the federation
and the Canterbury Progress League will also be informed that the need exists for some action in the matter. Damage to heavy land through seepage had been the subject of a remit to the provincial conference, but the question had been passed back to the Canterbury executive for action, said the secretary (Mr A. E. G. Lyttle).
