FORESTRY SERVICE
Sir,—ll the new Publicity Office would inform the public of the mam procedures of the State departments, it would be a healthy post-war activity. It would definitely apply to the Forest Service, which has continually cultivated air isolated bureaucracy. Your reports have pictured such severe damage to plantations through snow, frost, and gales that we simply do not know what to do. I have not seen, in “The Press, details of damage at Eyrewell or Balmoral, It is only from all the facts that we can see it possible that at times, at long intervals, plantations cannot exist on the plains. We do not know whether we can still trust to raise and harvest crops of trees m large blocks, or whether we should plant small blocks on thousands of farms. In this matter the help of the Forest Service is nil, and the demand for reorganisation should be very keen.—Yours, etc., JAS. R. WILKINSON. Rangiora, September 19, 1945.
