OUTPUT OF TIMBER.
At the present time th* ou'pufc of timber by the different mills cannot bo satisfactorily obtained, says tbe Journal of Agriculture: approximations, however, are got by either personal inquiries made at the mills by departmental rangers or by application to s^wmiliers' associations. As far as could be ascertained, the totol, utput for the year was 247 980,000 superncial feet, being 104,520,000 ft. less than for the previous year. Of the total production ths Auckland Land District produced 87,165,516 ft., Wellington 69,120,000 ft., Westlend 46,/60,100 ft., and Southland'2o,ooo, 000 ft. In Canterbury there were about 1,000.000 sup. ft. of Piniig radmta and Eucalyptus timber milled, but practically no native timber, supplies of this last being obtained from other districts. The output of. kauri was 20,890 359 sup. ft. Sleek, ness ai the building trade, scarcity of labour, ehortsge of tonnage for esp it,, and other war conditions have all had an influence in lessening production
