CHANGING THE FACE OF THE LAND on Mr A. V. Neal’s property at Blenheim, where soil conservation is improving production as well as arresting erosion. TOP: Three dams have been constructed in this formerly eroded valley, which runs down to the Taylor river. The lighter patches of colour on the hillsides show where bulldozing has levelled and filled in the guts. Sown into grass after cultivation, the ground will be contour-furrowed as soon as it has consolidated. BOTTOM: Mr Neal in a deep gulch, behind which is an example of the type of erosion existing in the top photograph before work was begun.
