PLANTATION PROFITS.

Anyone. travelling through New Zealand at present and seeing the large number of pine plantations now being milled cannot fail to appreciate the potential value of the large’ pine’ forests established by N.Z. Perpetual Forests, Ltd. Sawmillers. are finding that it costs legs, and is much more profitable to mill plantations instead of natura) forests, which are now mostly inaccessible, The importation of foreign boxing timber has dropped considerably, and the milling of Insignis Plantations has been responsible for this. Very satisfactory returns are being received for trees planted without any thought ‘of profit.-Advt.
