General Economic Note. — Nothing has been done 

 on the part of the settlers to provide for a 

 future gi'owth of the timber, while at the same 

 time they admit its value ; but it has to make 

 way for the wheat-fields, the duration of which 

 latter, considering the light nature of the soil, 

 and the wearing-out system persevered in by 

 our up-country farmer, is problematical ; and it 

 is an open question, in view of the large 

 demand for Cypress Pine, whether it would 

 not be to the best interests of the community 

 generall}^ if some steps were taken for the 

 propagation of this pine in a district which 

 is its home, and where it will grow to perfection. 

 (C. Ledwidge.) 



About half of the district. 



Timber. — Extensivelj' used for building purposes. 



Resin. Exudes very little resin. (Samuel Lewis.) 



Isolated patches on gi'avelly ridges, not extensive. 



A useful timber. (A. Moore.) 



About 60,000 acres. (May Burns.) 



Cover a great area of country — not less than 50 or 

 60 square miles — but chiefly in ridges along the 

 Gwj'dir Ri\'er. 



Resin. — Trees about 12 inches in diameter seem 

 to e.xude the most. If these trees are ring- 

 bai"ked, or incisions made through the bark 

 with an axe, the resin flows in greater quan- 

 tities. (J. S. Cormack.) 



General Economic Note. — The pines are easily pro- 

 ])agated from the seeds, and they grow \-ery 

 quickly in any soil. (E. V. Campbell.) 



Percentage of pines now is very small. 



General Economic Note. — The wholesale destruction 

 of various kinds in this district is lamentable, 

 and is carried on with no ajijiarent forethought. 

 (A. E. Kendall.) 



Grows in small scrubs, has been cut down for 

 timber during late years. (F. Campbell.) 



About4square miles with C.calcarata. (R.T.Baker). 



Some hundreds of acres. Most of the ridges are 

 covered with pines. (Christina McClelland.) 



This district (Liverpool Plains) is pretty thickly 

 timbered with pines; they grow in clumi)S of 

 50 to 100 or 200 acres. 



'J'imber. — Both the White and l^.lack Pines furnish 

 s])lendid timber for house-building ]iurposes, and 

 for furniture. This timber is in great request 

 by builders. 



Resin. — The most resin is obtained from tlic White 

 Pine. 



General Economic Note. — At present, owing to the 

 manner in which these trees grow, they cannot 

 attain to any very great size or height, being 

 too crowded. The ])ine forests require thinning 

 out very much for the trees In dn any good. 

 (S. B. ^art'iTint.)
