Abstract
A FIVE-YEARS survey convinced the author "that New Zealand, the youngest of the British Dominions, has a soil-erosion problem of greater significance in its relation to the future well-being of the country than has any one of the older members of the Commonwealth". He estimates that more than two thirds of the occupied area suffers from man-induced erosion.
