Most Serviceable Timber

Most Serviceable Timber.

In an article on the properties and uses of Insignis Pine, Mr. C. E. Dickson, M.Sc., New Zealand State Forest Service, states: “Insignis Pine is an extremely valuable soft wood with a wide diversity of uses. It will probably find a wide use for farm purposes, mine timbers, and outdoor construction in general.

“Insignis Pine may be reduced by the Mechanical, Sulphite and Sulphate Processes to yield pulps of fairly high grade suitable for the production of newsprint, printings, wrappings and boards.”

It is for this purpose that the large tracts of forests have been established by N.Z. Perpetual Forests Ltd.*
