FORESTS ACT, 1918.

Section 41.

SCHEME OF EXPENDITURE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT AND

REFORESTATI ON OF STATE FORESTS.

FUNDS AVAILABLE,

Under the present scale of royalties it is estimated that three-fifths of the net revenue of the Forests Department, calculated in accordance with the above section of the Act, will yield £36,250. In addition, under Section 39 of the Act, the revenue estimated to amount to £750 derived from the royalties collected on the Collie Coal Mining Leases, is ear-marked for forestry work on these leases. This brings the total up to £37,000.

Recommendations are before Cabinet for the increase of the prescribed royalty paid by permit-holders, so as to bring the sale price of timber on these permits in line with that sold by the department by tender or public auction, and more nearly in line with the value obtained by owners of private property for their timber. This proposed new rate of royalty is estimated to yield an increase of £15,000 in the gross revenue, which, under Section 41, will be divided in the proportion of £6,000 to the Treasury and £9,000 for forestry work. In the event of this amount being available it will be allocated to the various items set out in this scheme of expenditure.

Subject to the approval of Parliament, it is proposed that the funds available during the financial year 1921-1922 be expended, with the approval of the Minister, as fol- lows :—

WORKING PLAN No. 1.

This Working Circle includes all the prime jarrah country south of the main Eastern Railway line to the River Serpentine, an area of approximately 500,000 acres. The portion to be taken in hand first is the destroyed forest of the Goldfields Water Supply catchment area in the immediate vicinity of the reservoir.

The won: tor 1921-1922 will include :—

Sylvicultural operations over the destroyed forest and the heavily cut-over bush adjoining. The organising of a regular and economical supply of firewood for the pumping stations. The inauguration of lire protective measures on an extensive scale, including the clearing of fire breaks and the erection of two look-out stations. The sowing and planting of indigenous and exotic species, especially softwoods, on land incapable of carrying prime Jarrah forest, and on cleared farm lands resumed by the Crown and at present non- productive.

WORKING PLAN No. 2.

This Working Circle comprises 5,228 acres of prime Tuart country between the Lapel and Sabina Rivers.

The work for 1921-1922, in accordance with the Working Plan approved of by the Governor in Council, 29th June, 1921, is as follows :—

Sylvicultural operations in connection with the regeneration of Tuart and the thinning and clearing of existing stands. The protection of regeneration from destruction by fire and grazing. This will entail considerable fencing, but the revenue derivable from controlled grazing alone will justify the capital cost of this work. The utilisation with a minimum of waste of the over- mature timber at present on the area will be carded out by a saw mill which has been erected at Wonnerup. The annual cut will be restricted with the object of maintaining a perpetual supply of this timber for Govern-

1922.] Appropriation, 1921-2. [No. 12.

ment requirements, in connection with construction of railway rolling stock. The marketing of that portion of the output of this valuable timber which is too small for wagon scantling, presents some difficulty, but it is expected that it will be absorbed by turnery shops and wheelwright establishments. It may however, be necessary to install certain wood-turning machinery to be worked in conjunction with the mill.

WORKING PlaN No. 3.

This Working Circle includes all the country held under Coal Mining Leases in the vicinity of Collie. A Working Plan has been prepared and is ready for submission to the Minister.

The work for 1021-4922 will include:

The control of timber cutting for coal mines with the object of providing adequate future supplies. The exclusion of tires from areas closed for regeneration. The introduction of fast.growing exotics on sandy flats incapable of sup- porting a crop of jarrah.

SANDALWOOD AND MALLET BARK PROPAGATION.

These two species have provided a valuable export trade in the past, but available accessible supplies are becoming exhausted. Recent scientific investigation has shown that sandalwood is a root parasite and a common host plant is jam (acacia acuminate). Past experiments show that sandalwood can be grown under plantation conditions to marketable size in 25 years. A site for experimental work on which sandalwood, jam, and mallet are growing in a wild state, has been chosen east of Narrogin, and funds are required to carry on the experimental work of artificial sowing and fire protection before operations are started on an extensive scale.

CLASSIFICATION.

The classification of accessible timber country in the South-West Division of the State was completed last financial year. A small amount of work in completing the plans has been continued into this year.

FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY.

This is a Commonwealth institution which, owing to the co-operation of the State Government, has been established in Perth. The activities of the Laboratory have been restricted owing to delays in the establishment of the Bureau of Science and Industry by the Federal Authorities, but very valuable work has been done on behalf of this State as a result of subsidies granted to the Laboratory. The State Government has agreed to pay half the costs involved in certain research, and as a result the suitability of Karri for paper and pulp has been demonstrated, and the problem of decolourising and rendering soluble marri (redgum) Nino has been solved. To bring these and other minor experiments to a satisfactory conclusion further funds are needed.

RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION.

The Department has at present a botanical collector attached to an expedition in the North-West. Certain other field problems relating to insect and fungoid diseases need investigation.

The identification and systematic storing in an herbarium for future reference of specimens of the arboreal vegetation of the State is en essential activity of the Depart- ment.

PUBLICITY, ADVERTISING. AND EXHIBITS,

The splendid results obtained by demonstrating the suitability of our timbers for first-class uses such as furniture and cabinet work is to be seen in the large quantity of high grade manufactured articles which are now being made of local woods. We expect that by continuing the advertising policy a still larger proportion of our timbers hitherto wasted will be utilised locally and overseas.

No. 12.] Appropriation, 1921-2. [1922.

RESERVE OF PILES AND POLES.

Applications for permission to cut piles and poles are received from time to time from companies holding saw milling permits and leases. It is recognised that certain quantities of young trees are needed for poles and piles, but these should be cut from where they can he hest spared. In felling operations large numbers of young trees are ruined annually through mature trees crashing down on them. It is proposed to have these piles and poles cut out ahead of the fallers, and to forward them with other young trees which are cut out for sylvicuttural reasons in thinnings and cleanings, to certain depots from which supplies can be drawn as required. This scheme will be self.supporting and will, in addition, prevent our best future milling timber being cut for poles and piles.

EDUCATION.

A,-TRAINING OF APPRENTICES AND FIELD STAFF.

The major difficulty in all forest operations is the lack of a trained field staff. Intelligent and keen men with timber working experience are being trained to carry on, but it is very essential that boys he trained in the principles and practice of forestry if the work of the Department is to proceed on proper lines. An instructor with pro- fessional training has been engaged. A course of training extending over four years and including 75 per cent. of field work has been drawn up.

B.-POPULAR EDUCATION.

The practice of forestry in this country is seriously hampered by popular mis- conceptions and ignorance. Fire suppression, to quote one example, is a costly business, but the vast majority of fires are set alight owing to ignorance or apathy on the part of the man in the bush. Fire prevention by popular education of persons in and around the forest is comparatively cheap and efficient.

ARBORETA.

The formation of arboreta in the vicinity of certain of the larger country towns in the South-West was commenced last financial year, and it is proposed to continue the work. The arboreta will serve the purpose of testing the suitability and rate of growth of different species of trees under varying soil and climatic conditions. Their aesthetic and educational value to the adjoining town will also be considerable.

SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES.

The salaries and expenses of those officers of the Department who devote the greater portion of their time to duties directly concerned with reforestation work as distinct from revenue collecting and timber inspecting, are charged against this fund.

PURCHASE OF GENERAL EQUIPMENT AND INCIDENTAL CHARGES.

There are certain items of equipment which will be used in laying down many Working Plans and other items which will be transferred from time to time, and con- sequently cannot be held to be a legitimate charge against any one district.

Incidental charges, such as payments made into the Workers' Compensation Fund, also cannot be allocated to any particular item.

RESERVE.

Owing to the fact that the funds available for forestry work are allocated by the Treasury each month and cannot be anticipated, and seeing that forestry work is in great measure seasonal, so that heavier expenditure must be met at certain seasons than at others, a reserve fund is necessary. This will be filled during the slack season and spent when the increase of work demands it.
