PAPER MAKING
EXPERIMENTS WITH NEW
ZEALAND TREES
(United Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, This Day
A report just to hand from the Imperial Institute gives the result of an examination of eight New Zealand trees for paper making purposes. Four were species of fagus, one tawa, one racemora, all indigenous. The other two were pihus laricio and radiata, now being largely planted. All are considered suitable for pulp making, but the pines, on account of the prevalence of knots, would- require special treatment. The woods of other trees could be mixed, but the pines could not.
