TREE PLANTING, 1893. 



The spring of 1893, though unfavourable for most field work, was particularly 

 suitable for the planting of trees. Copious rain fell during nearly the whole of 

 May, giving the trees, when planted, good conditions for establishing themselves. 



TILLING VACANCIES IN FOREST BELT. 



Every spring it is found that a greater or less number of the trees in the forest 

 belts have succumbed either to the severity of the winter, alternate freezing and 

 thawing in fall and spring, or from the effects of water standing on or near the sur- 

 face of the soil. Last spring 450 trees were needed to fill up the gaps caused in this 

 way during the previous two years.
