NEW ZEALAND WOODS FOR PAPERMAKING.
Recently a series of tests of New Zealand woods as to their suitability for paper making were supervised in North America by Mr A. J. Entrican of the State Forest Service. There were two separate studies —the one a laboratory study, and the other a pulp and paper mill trial.
The reports, furnished by Mr Entrican, show that commercial grades of newsprint may be produced from insignis pine and tawa, and of kraft papers (i.e., wrappings, etc.), from rimu insignis pine, and a number of other woods. Other classes of paper, such as book, fine printings, etc., may aiso be manufactured from some of these woods, but since they are consumed in comparatively small quantities, they do not command the same attention as do newsprints and wrappings, which lead all papers in quantities used.
