NATIONAL AFFORESTATION 



Private individuals and our forestry socie- 

 ties have long been labouring to get the 

 authorities to realise the importance of the 

 question of afforestation, but with very little 

 success. The experiences of the war have, 

 however, taught us a lesson and done what no 

 amount of reasoning was able to accomplish, 

 and the Government have at last begun to 

 realise the necessity of providing an adequate 

 amount of home-grown timber.
