REMOVAL OF MEN FROM SUSTENANCE FIVE-YEAR AFFORESTATION PLAN [Per United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, June 30. With the dual object of removing unemployed men from sustenance and placing them in full-time employment and of creating national assets for future generations, the Commissioner of State Forests (Mr Langstone) has under consideration a five-year afforestation plan. The Minister said to-day he had asked the Director of Forestry to bring down a five-year plan and to ascertain what Crown lands were not suitable for ordinary pastoral or agricultural purposes, with a view to having them transferred to the Forestry Department, either as provisional or permanent State forests. It was then intended to go forward with planting operations according to proper plan.
