GOOD SENSE OF CZECHO-SLOVAKIA.
A New Zealand girl, who toured Europe recently, was very' favourably impressed by the “forest sense” of the Government of Czecho-Slovakia. There is strict observance of a law which requires the replacement of every tree that is felled by man or' broken down by storm. During the winter, when the country is snowbound, stores of hay are distributed through the woods as feed for deer, which otherwise would gnaw away the bark from young trees. It is estimated that each animal could do damage to the extent of £6 10s. Od. in the forest in one year.
If each member of the N.Z. Native Bird Protection Society persuades at least one relative or friend to join this year, he or she will be doing a good deed, not only for forests and birds, but for national welfare.
