FUTURE OF MOLESWORTH
It would be’a disaster If Molesworth were given over to tourism, became a deer farm or was put to any other use than a cattle run, said Mr J. M. Pickering, at yesterday’s meetinc of the North Canterbury Catchment Board The board should try to see that the present Molesworth policy was continued, said Mr A. R. Dingwall. Molesworth was producing as a big unit with big mobs
of cattle, but would not be a success if it were cut into smaller farms, said the chairman (Mr R. M. D. Johnson). The board decided to ask the Minister of Works (Mr Allen) to use his influence to have the soil conservation and back-country land management work continued at Molesworth. It was also agreed to seek the support of other South’lsland catchment boards.
