Commission Reports Tim
Der Tracts of Twelve
Million Acres.

Sydney, n. s. w.-The report of the
foreign commission for the year shows
that the area in the State of New
South Wales carrying timber of ap-
preciable value is about 100000 acres.
The area of State forests proclaimed
and brought under the forestry act
during the year was increased by
1885, ,249 acres, making the total, 4,s22,-
GIT acres. In addition to this 2.0I5
acres were resumed for forestry pur-
poses. In all 259.111 acres were dealt
with under typographical or assess
ment survey and 475,7eo acres were
organized for more intense manage
ment and brought under working
plans. Then there were 1854 acres
planted with 313,5 ,5S4 trees of economic
value and 6,726 acres treated for nat
ural regeneration and Improvement
Limitations of shipping largely af-
fected the timber export last year, but
the local timber trade was fairly
brisk, and the value of timber gem
orally increased. Timber imports de-
clined in value about s55o, 900 as COM
pared with the previous year. q. con-
dition which created a strong demand
for native woods, which were adapted
to many purposes hitherto exclusively
served by the use of imported soft
wood.
