negotiation, I have invariably been told by the merchant that the quantity offered was far too small to allow of special facilities for delivery being provided, since the timber was far away from road and rail. They stated, however, that if a specified number of cubic feet of good timber could be guaranteed annually for a number of years they were quite prepared to buy. The same obstacles to the sale of timber have been experienced in Scotland and remote parts of Wales. In these cases a continuity of supply, such as would be forthcoming if my scheme of afforesting was carried out, would ensure speedy sales at moderate prices in places where at present it is difficult, if not impossible, to dispose of small quantities except at ruinously low prices.
