AFFORESTATION.
Bearing in mind only the industrial requirements of the Dominion, the present rate of tree planting is only barely pufficient for our futur° needs, and although the greatest efforts are made to plant trees which will yield the best results in the shortest spac* of time, there are very few trees fit for milling under forty or fifty years, and even these will be much more profitable if allowed to remain in the ground another ten or twenty years. It is almost impossible to lay too greit a stress upon the work of reforestation in this country, remarks the "Poverty Bay Herald," and each year sees its importance in other lands more and more recognised by far-lighted statesmen, and greater efforts made to ensure the permanent timber supply of the nation. /
