SYDNEY, This Day.
The Government has invited Professor Elwood Mead, of the University of California:, to visit New South Wales in an advisory capacity respecting land settlement and development. It is estimated ■that the Government's land policy will make available eight thousand new holdings, and that twenty-five thousand new settlers^ together with their families and those engaged in secondary industries, will add four hundred thousand to the population. During his visit to London, Sir George Fuller will try to obtain a satisfactory marketing agreement with the Imperial authorities.
[Professor Elwood Mead was chief irrigation and drainage investigation engineer in the U.S.A. from 1897 to 1907, and from 1907 to 1915 chairman of the State Rivers and Water-Supply Commission of Victoria, Australia. Since 1915 he has been professor of rural institutions at the University of California.]
