FORESTRY IN SOUTH AFRICA 



GONSUL EDWIN N. GUNSAU- 

 LUS of Johannesburg, South 

 Africa reports that "Outside of 

 the operations of the Forest Depart- 

 ment there are practically no forestry 

 operations in South Africa. The Gov- 

 ernment holds nearly all the lands of 

 forest value, and the Forest Depart- 

 ment purchases seeds from abroad and 

 both sells seeds and raises large quan- 

 tities of trees for transplanting which 

 it sells at low rates to the public. The 

 officer in charge of the Forest Depart- 

 ment of the Union of South Africa is 

 Mr. J. Storr Lister, Chief Conservator 

 of Forests, Pretoria, Transvaal. 



"Elementary forestry, enabling stu- 

 dents to enter the subordinate grade of 

 the Government forest department, is 

 taught at the Government forest school 

 at Tokai, near Cape Town, Cape Col- 

 ony, and a course in forestry suitable 

 for farmers is given at the Government 

 agricultural school of Cedara, in Natal 

 Province. Vacancies in the higher 

 grades of the forest service are filled 

 from the South African Rhodes schol- 

 ars who successfully pass through the 

 Oxford School of Forestry, with its at- 

 tendant courses on the Continent of 

 Europe."
