Mr.. Bishop did not know where
half the money that had been appro-
priated was to come from, but he
fully realized the great Importance
of forestry to the country. He
wanted to have fair trial of the
experiment that was being skilfully
worked out. 1t was very important
to test what trees would flourish on
these Islands. A great many trees
and seeds had been distributed by the
nursery with promise of gratifying
results. He complimented the gentle
man in charge of the experiment,
Mr.. Jaeger, for his devotion to the
work, involving sacrifice of his own
time and means.
Mr.. W. o. Smith deemed the OBJ
| ject in question to be the replacement
of our depleted forests. He instanced
several forests with which he was
familiar when a boy, which now
were no more. Forests were import
ant in their conserving the natural
water supply and thus incalculably
benefiting. To propagate agriculture
forests was, moreover, duty we
owed posterity. A great boon had been
conferred upon the country by the
introduction of the Kenikeni sugar
cane, and experiments were now being
tried in the nursery with variety
of exotic cane.
