The deputation from the Forestry league ■who waited on the Premier (Mr Masseyl. lifting that further large sums should he set aside to purchase more land for afforestation. most have been very disappointed with their reception, but it is obvious that, although Mr Massey is very favourable towards the needs of afforestation, and knows full well the enormous benefit it will eventually be to the country, both financially and industrially, he is quite unable to supply funds which are more urgently required for immediate purposes. The opportunity is therefore left to Private Enterprise. Messrs N.Z. Perpetual Forests Ltd., whose local office address is P.f). Box 141, Dunedin, a company promoted by Messrs Smith, Wylie, and Co. (Ltd.), (he pioneers of private enterprise in afforestation, have put before the public a proposition which is absolutely unequalled, inasmuch ns the terms of investment are so easy that every man or womnn can afford to participate—viz., £25 subscribed hy paying 2Ss down, 25s the month following, and 25s every three months until £25 is fully paid, entitles the holder to a Bond in the Company; one such Bond secures an acre of land at Putaruru. planted with quick-growing trees, and cared for until maturity, in 20 years that Bond will be worth at the very least £SOO. Messrs N.Z. Perpetual Forests Ltd. will gladly send full information on receipt of a post-card, together with the opinions of some of the world 1 s forestry experts as to the vast possibilities of commercial treeplanting.—3l324.
