In November, 19 12, the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries 

 authorized a grant in aid of $2,500 a year for two years to the 

 University of Cambridge, to enable the conducting of research 

 work in timber — either indigenous trees or such exotics as are 

 of particular importance in the United Kingdom. Work was 

 begun the first of this year on the growth and utilization of Scots 

 pine. The main object of the inquiry is to ascertain to what 

 extent this tree can be profitably grown, to investigate the quality 

 of the timber produced under various conditions in different 

 districts, and to judge of its suitability for many purposes at 

 present filled by imported pine.
