FOTtEST TREE SHELTER BELT. 



The thinning out of deciduous trees, in places where they were crowding out the 

 evergreens, is still being continued, and a considerable amount of work was done in. 

 this direction during the past season. The good effects of this was very visible in the 

 more vigorous condition of the evergreens. 



HEDGES. 



Great interest is taken by visitors in the hedges, a long row of which is planted 

 alongside the main avenue, and is, perhaps, one of the greatest attractions of the farm, 

 as well as the subject of numerous inquiries. Everyone apparently recognizes the 

 great importance of wind breaks in our open country. The large hedges surrounding 

 the shelter blocks, composed of native maple (Negundo aceroides), Sharp-Leaved 

 Willow (Salix acuHfolia), Green Ash (Fraxinus peiinsylvanir.a lanceolata), American 

 Elm (Ulmus americana), Russian Poplar (Populus herolinensisj, and Cottonwood 

 (Populus deltoidea), continue to do well, with the following exceptions. The Cotton- 

 wood is killed to the ground by the rust previously noticed as attacking the leaves of 

 this tree of late years. The Russian Poplar is showing signs of deterioration, prin- 

 cipally by losing its lower branches, this tree evidently not standing close planting.
