 the immediate supervision of Mr. Wm. Harpham, who takes great interest 

 in tree planting, and has a thorough knowledge of the work in hand. The 

 trees, with the exception of a very few species, are doing well and making 

 an excellent growth. The work of plowing and preparing the land thor- 

 oughly before planting has added, there is no doubt, to the great success 

 obtained. The Avriter would suggest that other visits be made for the 

 purpose of measuring the different species, and thereby obtaining the aver- 

 age growth of each. The trees have all been planted uniformly in blocks, 

 so that the work of measuring will be simple.
