'. -, —~ *~ : The butter box problem is' becoming acute, and (says the Melbourne "Age") if more attention is not paid to the preservation of timber supplies, one of the greatest and most rap'idlyexpaiiding branches of our exporUrade will be jeopardised. The outlook is creating anxiety, and the rising price of New Zealand and Queensland pine lias caused the Minister of Agriculture to turn his attention to Victorian wooly "but. The suitability of this timber for butter packing is being tested both locally and in connection with the expoit trade, some butter placed in wooly butt boxes having been sent to London; Eecent developments have shown the mistake, made by "Victorian exporters in not accepting the offer oi hoop pine made by Mr "E. V. Billie when he visited Queensland. Supplies for several years' trade could then have been secured, at a quotation oi about sixpence per box lower than the present price of New Zealand whit( pine. If the Gippsland woolly butt if as valuable as is said to be, for furmttm making, more lasting use should b< made of it than turning it into butte: boxes. In any case, the quantity ii limited. Further supplies for th< butter trade depend 'on forest con servation. as neither the ISiev Zealand or the Queensland pin, loresta are like]y, by natural genninat iop-,. to long sustain the inroads whicl ■are ■ being made upon them. Tin New Zealand white pine has beei little tested in Victorian soil. Tin Moreton Bay hoop pine, on the otho hand, is to be seen flourishing in tin parks about Melbourne. All over tin world reafforestation has become om of the pressing problems of the day find tho most practical method o saving tho butter tradn would be tr fiet up a collateral industry of equn importance, by restocking our de nuded forest areas Arith the bes adapted timber trees, whether conifers or ducal ypts.
