MAKING OF NEWSPRINT.
SUCCESSFUL TESTS WITH N.Z. HARDWOODS. New York, August 2. A message from Madison (Wisconsin) states that experiments on behalf of the New Zealand Government have concluded at the United States forest product laboratory, in which it discovered that New Zealand hardwoods are capable of producing a quality of newsprint comparable with the American standard. The Department of Agriculture, in which the Forestry Department is included, has issued a statement to Washington, expressing the conviction that “New Zealand is now unquestionably able to hold her own in any price-cutting competition which might arise.” Particular gratification is expressed in Washington that the Forestry Department, which undertook the experiments, made a proviso that the United States would be able to benefit in the event of the tests being successful, and be enabled to utilise United States hardwood for newsprint, which in the past has not been possible. The Forestry Department declared: “The production of newsprint from hardwoods is profoundly signifi•cant to the United States.”
