Matakana Radiata Ltd. The Only Afforestation Company Selling An Actual Plantation. A Pure Gold Investment. The promoters of this Company ! do not make extravagant claims as to the profits that shareholders will get, but they estimate that | the trees on the Matakana Radiata Ltd. Plantation will be worth 1 from £t to £l/10/- each in twentyfive years according to whether j they are Pinus Radiata or Eucalyptus. This price should easily be obtained on the stump, which equals £4OO per share. On account of the wonderfully cheap water transport and flat land the Company can, if they so desire, cut the logs and raft them to the mills, for (vide Mr. Gamman’s report) a few pence per 100 superficial feet, the return per share should then be worth, say, £6OO or £7OO. The third alternative is for the Company, in twenty-five years’ time, to erect their own mills, fell and mill their own timber, and each share should then return at least double the above figures. Electric power for the mill is | already available from Tauranga. Elach £2O Share Should Return from £4OO to £IOOO. The Remarkable Pine. The most remarkable feature about Pinus Radiata is its incredibly rapid growth. As a rule a three-year-old tree measures about three feet ia height. After that period the rate of growth increases at a rapid rate, sometimes es much as from 6 ft. to 8 ft. vertical growth being made annually over a number of years. Average specimens twenty-two years old which were measured showed an average annual vertical growth of 4 feet whilst an examination of the timber in open grown specimens shows a diameter increase of two inches sustained annually over ten to twelve years of the early period of the life of the tree.

A Word to Business Men! ABRAHAM LINCOLN said: " When you spend a dollar at home you have both the goods and the dollar. When you spend it away you have nothing but the goods." Although this was uttered over sixty years ago, it is as true to-day as it was then. Buy at home, and you have the goods and someone in your community has the money: buy away from home and the money is gone for ever, Get Your Printing at “THE NORTHLAND AGE" OFFICE. KAITAIA P.O.
