The following series oi photographs will serve to illustrate this method oi

Although machinery has not yet been employed to cut and collect this 

 new growth, yei it is thought that such a method oi working should nol be 

 difficult, and it is proposed to endeavour to devise machinery to do this 

 work, in order to minimise the initial cost of collection.
