FOKESTSRY B.F.A.NCH BULLETIN No. 63 



of the most valuable native woods, which are becoming scarce. This is a great 

 economic problem in view of the gradually decreasing quantity of foreign supply 

 and its increasing cost. There are certain species of trees that cannot be grown 

 in this country. These we must import. But we should firmly establish our 

 wood-using industries and ensure an economical balance between imports and 

 exports by growing all the valuable woods which are adaptable to this country. 



This could be done if public and private effort were earnestly applied to the 

 problem. We have the foundation needed for the purpose; the land, the 

 resources and finally the labour; we further require legislation and popular 

 support. 



It would be a great satisfaction to the Forestry Branch if this bulletin, 

 besides its primary object stated above, would also help to promote the preserva- 

 tion and regeneration of the forests.
