"At the present time it is not possible to state what the sand fixation work will cost; the experiments now under way are designed to solve_ this question," states Mr H. A. Goudie, in an article in the monthly news-letter of tho State Forest Service. "The cost of fixing the sand on a drift may possibly be as much aa £25 per acre, but it should be borne in mind that the fixation of the main drifts will afford protection to large adjacent areas, and allow the plant covering to become reestablished by natural means. The cost, therefore,f when spread over the whole area influenced by the work done will bring the averap-c expenditure per acre very much belc* this.figure. The cost of reclamation should be regarded aa a charge upon the valuable agricultural land which the reclamation work is designed to, protect, and not against any tree-planting, which subses quently may be done to give permanence to such reclamation. If the expenditure is regarded in this light, there can he no doubt that the forest crop which the sand dunes are capable of growing will be a payable one. This is especially true of the dunes on the West Coast, of Wellington, adjacent to which are large areas of long-settled farm lands and convenient railway facilities for marketing the crop of timber."
