A DEVOTED OFFICER. _ m ' THE LATE H. J. MATTHEWS. Referring to the death of Mr H. J. Matthews, head of the Forestry Department, tlie, Otago Daily Times saj's: Mr Matthews' father founded the well-known nursery, at Mornington, Dunedin, and Mi: Matthews took an active part in the work, and conducted the nursery for some time. He devoted his' life to forestry and ' allied subjects. "He .was an excellent botanist, and one who had tlie widest experience of the native, flora of New Zealand. His work took 'him into every part of the dominion, and he was wonderfully assisted by Mrs Matthews, a skilled photographer, and a lady who is not afraid of roughing it. Mrs Matthews 1 accompanied 'her husband in most of his expeditions, many of which partook of bhe nature of exploration. Mr Clifton, director of farms^ in conversation with a Christchurch Press reporter, said he understood that Mr •and Mrs Matthews had in preparation an illustrated work on the flora of the dominion. Mr Matthews -published a work entitled "Tree Culture in New Zealand," which is more than a. handbook — being a text-book which is sought for by many forestry •departments in other parts of the world. Prior to Mr Matthews joining the State Forests branch of the Department of Lands many attempts •had! been- made to establish forestry on sound lines, but he was the first to succeed in that direction. One of Hiis first attempts was ab Whakarewarewa, in the Rotorua district. The Lands Department had done something in the direction of afforestation; but Mr Matthews created, a forestry establishment there which, is probably one of the first in the Brio - isb. dominions outside India. 'As •» l:t---result of his work Mr Matthews altered! the face of the country, and the plantations are at present one of the attractions of the district. It is at Whak'arewarewa + oat i«ar»y thousands of trees have Ueen raised and propagated for the plantaliors in the Taupo district from Tvuiotapu onwards. On© of Mr Matthews' initial difficulties ;b Whak&vi>.vacewa was to discover the (!escr-ptio>i ni tree most suitable for th« dfetoiot,- tbe problem being complie.ited.by the fact that the trees to "c piacted and raised must have an economic valii^ Mr Matthews had to n'|iico':uai«v experiments before lw rlisnowced' the class of trees that filled 1 all these requirements. "He was," continued Mr Clifton, "absolutely, the moicapable and most enthusiastic officer that the Government of New Zealand have ever had- the "honour, of o:hploy- L ing." In addition to the WWcr.rewarewa plantation, Mr Matthews (Oarried'oub the work connect ad with plantations in many otihe? 1 parts of the dominion. '«.he one at. -JvMno, North Auckland, is devoted to the propagation and due setting out o' aiative trees. Mr Matthews h&d been connected with itlhe State Foresfc3 branch for between 12 and .13 years., and was • about 49 years of age 'It his death. Mr Matthews was a most interesting man, said Mr f"»inx»n. in concluding, and one whose knowledge was at everyone's service; aothing delighted (him more than to instruct and interesb settlers in plaDting.
