SOIL EROSION
Mr. J. B. F. Cotterill (Government. Wanganui) said that he had been very interested in the report of the committee set up'to consider soil erosion throughout New Zealand, and he expressed the hope that the Government would adopt the committee's recommendations. There had been very serious erosion in the back country of Wanganui, and he was of the opinion that the problem generally was one of the most important that faced the Government. He also expressed appreciation of the effort made to teach people to swim, and said he thought that the Government should be prepared to assist people in country districts to secure facilities for proper training.
