COST OF FORMING PLANTATIONS 



400 to 500 acres, as follows: Planting, 

 4 2s. 8d.; clearing and fencing, 3 Os. 6d.; 

 sundry charges, 3s. 4d. The Corporation of 

 Liverpool have planted somewhat extensively 

 at a cost of 6 15s. 3d. per acre, including 

 clearances and a large expenditure for plants. 



In connection with these returns it should 

 be distinctly remembered that they are pre- 

 war rates, and would, in all probability, be 

 50 per cent, higher at the present time. 



The returns are, however, actual prices paid 

 for the planting of land in various parts of the 

 country, and can all be vouched for.
