THE FORESTRY REPORT.
We observe with interest that, the official heads of the Lands Department arc much more cautious now than they were a few years ago in discussing the duration of our timber supply. Mr Kensington himself, if we are not mistaken, lias now considerably reduced the lease of life which he was willing to grant some of our best-known and most valuable timbers when he last expressed an opinion publicly on this subject. But even now it does not seem to us, that enough stress is laid upon the indisputable fact that, while our supply of native timber cannot be enlarged, for the indigenous trees are hopelessly slow in growth, the demand is constantly increasing, and must always- continue to do so.—Auckland “Star.”
