FORESTRY WORK.
SOUTH AFRICAN PROGRESS. OTTAWA, December 3. Two Canadian experts who attended in South Africa the fourth British Empire -Forestry Conference expressed on their return their surprise and pleasure at the great amount of successful forestry work done by the South African Government in the past quarter-century. They were Mr. ]JSH. Finlayson, and Mr. T. A. McElhanney, both members of the Canadian Government Forestry Service. The fifth conference will be held in India in 1940.
Mr. Finlayson said the South African authorities had planted large areas with several species of sub-tropical pines and Australian gum wood, and these forests were doing extremely well. These types of timber, maturing in 20 to 30 years, are used largely for mine props.
