AFFORESTATION IN AUSTRALIA
VALUE TO N.Z. OF WORK IN QUEENSLAND (New Zealand Press Association)
AUCKLAND, September 22. The Director of the New Zealand Forest Service (Mr A. R. Entrican) has every hope that New Zealand kauri and United States southern pines can be planted in North Auckland with as promising results as he has just seen in Queensland.
Mr Entrican said in Auckland today that Queensland was planting extensive areas of kauri and pine, which would yield timber of extremely high quality. This was an outcome of 30 years’ work on the selection and breeding of high-quality planting stock. Mr Entrican returned today from three weeks in Australia. He attended a meeting of the board of the Australian Forestry School, to which New Zealand sends graduate students for professional training. Queensland’s genetical work was of outstanding interest to New Zealand, he said, and New Zealand would profit from genetical work with Pinus insignis in South Australia, which had the best-managed forests of their kind in either Australia or New Zealand.
