NEW ZEALAND'S GOOD EECOED. 



The report on the i-tate nurseries and 

 plantations of New Zealand for the year 

 ending March 31st, 1914, made by James 

 Mackenzie, under-seeretary of the depart- 

 ment of lands and survey, shows that since 

 the formation of the nurseries in 1896, 65 

 million trees have been sent to the state 

 plantations and 3% million to outside 

 places. The Forestry Branch was very 

 active during the year under review. Eight 

 and a half million trees were raised in the 

 four state nurseries, bringing the total 

 stock up to 171/4 million trees. The total 

 cost of the nurseries from their origin is 

 £118,392. Last year's operations cost £9,- 

 357. Three of the seven nurseries, first 

 established, have been closed. 



On the nine plantations under operation 

 1,825 acres were 'planted during the year, 

 bringing the total up to 22,458 acres, plant- 

 ed since 1896. The average cost per acre 

 of the year "s work is £5 17s. 5d. The plan- 

 tations cost, since their establishment, £186,- 

 041. The total number of trees in the plan- 

 tations is now 54,158,614, representing a 

 cost, per thousand trees, of £5 3s. 8d. A 

 considerable amount of prison labor is used 

 on the plantations. 



The superintending nurseryman of the 

 North Island lays stress on the importance 

 of importing seeds only from climates simi- 

 lar to where they are to grow. The strain 

 of the parent trees is also important. Of 

 American trees, the chief difficulty on these 

 points arose with pinus ponderosa, on ac- 

 count of the wide area it occupies.
