GENERAL FARMING NEWS:
' An inspection of tlio timber resources in a portion of tho Tahora district, lying at the back of Itakauroa and Jlatawai, has just been .carried out 'by Mr.' Jas. Brown, states the "Poverty Bay Herald." Tho inspection was of a preliminary nature, and applied particularly to a block of East Coast Native Trust land and that of other properties in.tlio neighbourhood. Jlr. Brown declares that a much more extended inspection is necessary to properly astertain the extent of timber available, but from what ho saw tbero was fully 5000 acres of. splendid milling timber, anil much of it as tiuo as any to bo seen in the Motu district. Tliero were, however,' about twolvo miles of difficult country to negotiate, and tho utilisation of this valuablo-bush depended entirely upon tho feasibility of obtaining moro suitable access than the present ; road3 in from cither Matawai or Kakauroa. Ho was most favourably impressed with /tho excellent country in tho Tahora block, although between it and tho railway there - was a great deal of birch country.
