KAURI GUM.
A large quantity of this commodity arrived in Auckland in the course of last week. Gratified as we are to perceive the increasing demand for gum, we cannot but regret to be told that many of our native fellow labourers have been losing their precious seed-time to dig for an article which can well await a more leisure hour. To neglect the work of lite fields for the search of gum is ruinous folly. The season will not slay; but the gum will. And upon tltc produce of the season, much more Ihan in the gathering of gum, will the prosperity of New Zealand and tltc enrichment of the natives most materially depend. Again wc urge them not only to provide amply for their own requirements, but for the rapidlyincreasing demands of Australia, and of lite whalers that may be soon expected to arrive. When the fields are sown, and the potatoes planted, there will then be abundant time to gather gum.
