The Despised Pine.
The new forests of the province are now being cut for timber (remarks the “Christchurch Press”). At St. Leonards and Mount Thomas, in North Canterbury. the pinus insignis trees planted 30 years ago are being cut down and sawn into boards and scantlings. The timber is expected to be useful for building and carp -ntering purposes. Some of the trees, it is understood, allow of boards being cut to a width of nearly two feet. A quantity of the timber has already found its wav to the market.
