Mlr. Snazelie said a new species of pine never before seen in the Province-"Pin-us Pinaster" or "Maritime pine", will be introduced this Spring. The seed is cctn-ing from France wile-re this species has i-lirived under ainost similar soil conditions to those uahlch tlic trees will find here.

Cites French Achievement.

One hundred and fifty years agp. Mi". Snazelie said, a French forest- er, nrmed Chafillbffiiflilf, conceived the idea of recilairning Frances vast arid coast regions which at filial. time presented a dreary scene of empty, waterless space populated only by sea gulls. In that bleak. sandy desert only sand dUlHPS met. the eye. Chambreleut decided to scatter a few bushels of "Maritime pine" seed over that coastal region. Today. Mr. Snazelle said. there is a magnificent forest of hiariiime pine trees stretching frnn France's At- lantic coastal region to tlic Span- Lah border-a. forest of two and a half million acres.

The reason for such tremendous growth is explained. by the fact

of age will have a diameter of 10 inches. An adult tree will yield two quarts of grm, 70 pei‘ cent of which is rcslu and l7 pci- cent turpentine. Mr. Snazelle is of ilhe opinion that the propagation of this hardy and prolific species of pine tree snag: transform those coastal r63- ions of the Province where now no arboreal growth exists.
