Timber in-South Africa.

future supply Of timber begins to be

that e. ]. Laschinger. past president OF

individuals cannot wait for the re-
turns, and his observation has been
that the various kinds Of pine are the
trees most suitable. The variable
winds exert such II twisting upon
growing trees that straightforward
timber OF certain kinds is difficult to
obtain. Pine seems to withstand the
comforting influence more effectively
than other kinds. and very fine,
strnight-grained timber OF this sort Is
produced. As a great advantage to
the country. the planting Of many pine
forests from the equator down to the
Cape is urged.
