STATE FOREST SERVICE.
BUILDING UP TIMBER RESERVES. WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT. AN EXCELLENT EXHIBIT. An excellent exhibit has been staged by the State Forest Service with a view to demonstrating the paramount importance of building up forests and timber reserves. The time must come when New Zealand will be dependant to a certain extent on her own timber resources and it is the aim of the State Forest Service to utilise and bring into production waste areas for the purpose of supplying New Zealand's needs. A picture-covered wall shows the trees in their various stages of development and a number of interesting plantation operations. All the important varieties of timber trees adaptable for New Zealand are displayed, anil cypressus, macrocarpa and pinus radiata are specially featured. Specimens of the more useful eucalypti and important shelter trees are on view and many have taken the opportunity of inspecting the different types of trees given prominence in the exhibit.
