Dr. J*. Stevenson, at a forestry meeting in Christchurch, said that during a visit to Australia, recently he was told that .New Zealand white pine, after orossing the sea, was not nearly so subject to the borer as it was in its native country, and that in Australia it was more durablo and less subject to the borer than were harder 'woods. Dr. Stevenson asked Mr A. R. Entrioan, Engineer of Forest Products to the State Forest Service, if the soil, altitude, and position in which trees grew affected their durability. Mr Entrioan said that he thought they did. As an illustration, he said that native beeches in Southland were more durable when grown in a -high altitude than yJjna,,gcamt in& low_ altit udo.
