Abstract

The areas about which I wish to speak are those of the extensive farm, in general farmed at a low level of efficiency, irrespective of size, slope, or altitude, the improvement of which is dependent on the correction of some fertility problem. It is not thercforc the foothill country, but a much greater area; it is not so much the area as the problem about which I wish to speak. The frontiers of grassland improvement have moved from the plains and downs to the hills and mountains, from the small paddock to the range, from the accessible to the remote, and this has been assisted by many factors, not the least of which is the aeroplane.
