Mallee Settlement
OUYEN, Wednesday. — A concerted
policy on Mallee settlement was put
before the Minister for Lands (Mr
Llnd) at Ouyen and Murrayvllle by
representative deputations. A local
land board was sought so that ap
plications could be heard by men
familiar with Mallee conditions.
Abolition of short-term leases also
was asked for. The Minister said
the matter was one of policy. He
agreed that short-term leases were
responsible for the greater part of
the area suffering from soil erosion,
and he would take the case to Cabi
