BEST IN COUNTRY
The New Zealand Forest Service has honoured a farm forester in a singular way. At the annual meeting of the New Zealand Farm Forestry Association at Blenheim this week Mr W. H. Jolliffe, who until eight months ago was senior extension forestry officer of the Forest Service, said that the service had asked the beneficiaries in the estate of the late Mr W. Hull, of Tiriui in the Wairarapa, for trCes from his property so they could be sawn up to study the grades of
timber that could accrue from proper pruning and thinning.
By so doing, Mr Jolliffe said that the Forest Service had indicated that Mr Hull’s standards of tree treatment were the best in the country.
It was reported to the council of the association this week that Mr Hull had been made a life member of the association before his death and the council also conferred the same honour on Mr Jolliffe.
