In the opinion of an experienced farmer and stock breeder* the upper 'districts of. , the King Country are, to pse his own. words, -"going to be a .cold shpp when the timber is all cut out. Up, to the present the dense forests have given live stock and vegetation shelter, from cold winds and snowstorms that visit' ..these high .regions during, several months of the year. Once tlie bush is down, and it is coming down as fast as the mills can cut it up, then no obstruction will be given to the fierce gales that rage round the sunny mountains of the interior, and the outlook is not cheerful. Before it is too late, steps should be taken, to preserve com siderable areas 6f the. native bush for shelter purposes."
