Cashing in on gorse
Greymouth’s new Mayor, Dr B. M- Dallas, had a forecast to make at the recent fiftieth jubilee conference of the New Zealand Grassland Association in Grcymouth. The association last held its conference on the Coast in 1964 and Dr Dallas suggested that a paper presented next time it came to the district would be on improvement in the harvesting of gorse and its utilisation for biomass — for energy. Perhaps the Coast’s gorse constituted a crop of gold,
he commented. While not beyond the, bounds of possibility, maybe the Mayor was speaking with his tongue in his cheek. The Director-General of .Agriculture, Mr M. L. Cameron, who deputised for the Minister of Agriculture, Mr Maclntyre, at the opening of the conference, recalled that one of the most notable things about the last conference in Greymouth was a proposition that mountain lions should bo let loose in the area.
