suffering pig, answers: But we have

Australian AnorestatIon.

Afforestation was the subject OF IN
address by Sir Ronald Munro Fergus
on at Adelaide, South Australia, re-
Gently. In the course Of his speech he
said: Il have been much impressed
with the variety Of the hardwoods
grown in Australia. 1 believe that In
Australia you have larger variety Of
the best hardwoods than exists in any
other country in the world. but much
of 1t has been wasted. In many In
stances these hardwoods have been
used when cheaper and softer timber
would answer the same purpose. Aus
tralia has an advantage In timber
growing-a forest natures in thirty
years, whereas 1t takes sixty years to
reach the same stage Of maturity in
Europe. The Californian pine grows
splendidly here. while it will not grow
at all in the north Of the British isles.
The total area reserved for forests In
South Australia Is 154.232 acres and.
besides gradually adding to the re-
serves, the government have estab-
lished q school of forestry at the AIDE
laide university for the scientific train
ing of foresters."
