Reclamation work has been undertaken on the Rose O'Donnell estate, near Dungloe, involving drainage, cropping, lime-burning, the erection of a specimen dwellinghouse and out-offices and the planting of a shelter-belt. The experimental cropping has given satisfactory results. Following inquiries which have been made other reclamation work will be undertaken.
