This Month's Cover
Soil erosion is not as serious in New Zealand as in other countries that have been farmed longer, but there are places and circumstances in Nero Zealand where erosion problems have arisen and where they could become more serious if correct land use is not adopted at once. The Soil Conservation Service, now incorporated in the Department of Agriculture, offers, through this Department and Catchment Boards, technical assistance and subsidies to aid the re-establishment of degenerated country. This month's cover shows pasture furrowing on rolling North Canterbury country io reduce wasteful run-off. Photograph by National Publicity Studios.
