FORESTRY EXHIBIT
e Quite one of the most interesting features of the show to many is the forestry exhibits. Following on the lines of last year’s display, a well selected lot of New Zealand and imported timbers are shown, each with a small card describing the timber, its suitability for certain purposes, its resistance to damp, and to other causes of decay, its structure, and hardness. Quite a number of gates, fences, posts, etc., made from the timbers, are also shown, the whole exhibit being most instructive. The value of such information as is given can hardly he over-estimated, for New Zealand timbers are admittedly among the finest in the world for many purposes, and the possibility of further developing an export trade in timbers cannot no overlooked. It is significant of this possible market that on the eve of the Royn l Show a shipment of 200,000 feet < New Zealand matai timber should ha" been chipped from Napier for Aust; lia.
