In planting- on this kind of soil, it is important to plant in some- 

 what regular lines so that the plants may be located easily. It is also 

 necessary to use strong, well developed transplants. After first or 

 second season the plants will get above the danger line of weeds. 



Fig. 21 — Drifting Band land in Norfolk County to be reforested. 



In many waste types of land, such as Fig. 21, the grass and weeds 

 are so sparse that they do not endanger the young plant. Frequently in 

 such cases the growth of weeds or grass make a good protection, es- 

 pcci tlly in the winter. 



I 1 some of the sandy soils of Ontario it is necessary to protect the 

 plants in Ihe most exposed situations from the drifting sand. The 

 danger may be that the plants will be covered with drifting sand or 

 that the sa id may blow away and leave the roots exposed. This may 

 frequently be averted by scattering brush or other debris between the 

 planting rows in the threatened areas. 



The best results on the above areas will be obtained by planting 

 evergreens so that protection may be had both summer and winter. For 

 the most exposed locations, Scotch Pine will be the most advisable tree 

 to plant. The more protected spots in a planting area might be filled 

 with White Pine, Red Oak, Black Locust.
