• Excellent progress is being made with the establishment of the Hutu prison camp at Tokaanu, under the guidance of the Controller-General,' Mr. Matthews. The total area ..taken up is 60,000 acres, and the scheme adopted is to work up blocks-,of 100 acres to bring' it under cultivation. The first blocks which have been prepared for, cultivation comprise 500 acres, and the draining of a valuable swamp is under way. There is a dairy factory in close proximity belonging to Maoris, who, though at first they rather resented advice or interference by . the pakeha; now welcome assistance,' and are taking very keen interest in the progress of the Hutu camp. Telephonic' communication has been installed with the camp. Tokaanu is the • 'angler's paradise, . and during next month the rivers injthe district will be literally teeming with fish, and the Maoris say that during the presence of the fish the.water is undrinkable. . Mr; Downs, superintendent of the' New Plymouth gaol, informed a Taranaki Herald reporter ' that the scheme .will give. a great fillip to the progress; of Tokaanu, more especially as regards dairying. Mr: Downs has been closely associated with the work at the prison farm right from the commencement, and will still continue to make periodical visits as opportunity affords.,; For your correspondence, use Maid of the Mountain cabinet stationery.
