McLeod in regard to assistance to settlors on deteriorated land, the Minister stales that, the report, conveyed an entirely wrong impression. “1. stated,” said Air. McLeod, “that the present-day costings rendered, the possibility of bringing back to productive pasture a considerable area of steep and inaccessible lands, situated at a distance from the railway and other means of cheap transport, extremely problematical. I added that 1 was not hopeful of results, for where large areas, by use of the plough, closer subdivision, and liberal top-dressing, could be brought in it. was mot going to be a simple matter, and if was only by the earnest cooperation of the Government, the mortgagees, and the settlers themselves that useful and lasting results could be obtained.”
