The trees are hauled TO the nearest
road where the buyers inspect them and

in the past. ten years has amounted to

One OF the dangers which the stats
forestry commission fears is curtail-
ment OF the water supply. When timber
is cut from the mountains. small trees
spring up TO take their place and thus
prevent the springs and brook feeders
from drying during the summer months
When this second growth. as the semi
maturs seedlings are called is stripped
from the soil, the sun dries out Jhs
ground and the valleys. as well as the
higher reaches, are affected.

small coniferous trees, but without avail.

keen TO obtain pulp wood on this side OF

rather receive the pittance now than wait
twenty years for bigger returns. They
point out that the trees ara their own
