TIMBER-GROWING POSSIBILITIES Mr. A. C. Forbes, Canadian delegate to the British Empire Forestry Conference in 1928, stated: —"New Zealand is the only country in the Southern Hemisphere with soil and climate really suited to grow softwoods. Afforestation in New Zealand affords. wonderful opportunities, which business men sohuld utilise.” The foregoing merely substantiates N.Z. Perpetual Forests Limited’s policy when in 1923 they founded what is to-day the world’s largest; commercial afforestation scheme. Because of the comparatively quick growth of pines in New Zealand compared with other countries, and their suitability for woodpulp, this project assures bondholders of a profitable return in a relatively short period.—Advt.
