Bledisloe Award
New Zealand’s former Gover-nor-General, Lord Bledisloe, has given a gold medal for landowners to mark his ninetieth birthday, which fell last September. The first recipient of the award, which is to be made annually to a landowner who has given outstanding service in encouraging the application of science or technology to husbandry, is the Earl of Iveagh. “Agriculture,” the journal of the British Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, says that the tireless efforts of Lord Iveagh, over many years of a long life, in transforming thousands of acres of extremely poor land in East Anglia into rich pasture and highly productive arable country have shown what can be done by the reclamation of very light land to increase food production. For many years, too, he has worked towards improving clean milk production and the general betterment of the dairy industry.
