Recently a deputation from the NewZealand Returned Soldiers’ Association waited on the Prime Minister and the Minister of Lands, in Wellington, with a request that the Government should supply soldier settlers with free trees for the purpose of shelter belts. A letter has now been received by the secretary of the Christchurch Returned Soldiers’ Association from the Minister of Lands, stating that arrangements have been made with the Forestry Department for the supply of a limited number of trees for soldier settlers, and that applications should be forwarded to the Commissioner of Crown Lands.
