TREE PLANTING.
South Australia is setting an example to the other colonies in the matter of preserving existing forests and promoting planting. On one reserve alone, there are 140,000 healthy young trees, the cost of planting, rearing, and caring for each of which has not, averaged more than 2d. A National Board has been established for the purpose, which has defrayed the greater part of its expenditure by the sale of matured timber and young trees from its own nurseries. The Board distributes young trees to councils and other local governing bodies for planting in their districts.
