This ■'3 greatly to be deplored. I have to inform you that Wednesday, 3 3th July next, has been proclaimed a S iliday throughout the colony for tiie ob"si rvance of Arbor Day, and am directed to re quest that you will be good enough to 1)2 leg before the residents of your district tfra v great bensfics to be derived from plantSue reserves B.nd waste places with trees aiui able to the positions selected. The sdvj Tiatages and the wealth to be derived frotl'-i plantations systematically mads and "vrorl ~ed are so well known that I need not .fcrotS ">le yon with them here. The Governmatt desires to see Arbor Day become refcogri sed as an effective aid to the reforesting Of suitable areas.
