EXTRACTS FROM WOOD
BIG SOUTHLAND SCHEME
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post.")
DUNEDIN, This Day. In the House of Representatives last week Mr. R. Semple drew attention to the desirability of encouraging the development in New Zealand of an industry for the production of power alcohol, tannin extracts, and other chemicals from wood. It is interesting to learn that an exceptionally big scheme is now under way in Southland to develop such an industry, and it is understood that initial trials conducted on Southland timbers were so satisfactory that many overseas business houses have placed large buying contracts in advance with the firm when it begins operation.
The question of national defence is also involved, and an overseas munitions supply board is ' in close touch with the project. The scheme should open up hitherto unexplored avenues for employment.
