Youth Hostels.
Support for the establishment of a youth hostel scheme in Wellington province was voiced by the annual general meeting of the Tararua Tramping Club in Wellington last night, which adopted a resolution to that effect. At the same time a motion recommending that such a scheme should be made a provincial centennial memorial was defeated. Shelter Trees. Experimental planting of Cupressus arizonica will shortly be carried out by the North Canterbury Advisory Committee on Tree Planting in North Canterbury districts, upon receipt of a supply of plants from the Canterbury Agricultural College, Lincoln. This kind of tree was mentioned by the Director-of the College (Professor E. R. Hudson) at a recent meeting of the committee as being eminently suitable for shelter belts because it always remained bushy almost from the ground level, and provided much better “under” shelter than many of the trees extensively used for shelter purposes.
