PUTTING IX TREES WITH A PLANTING BOAKD. 



Planting seedling trees by the million at Indian Head Nursery Station, Sasl-catchewan. Tlie 

 Yale Board, which holds about fifty seedlings at one time, is filled by the women worl^ing at 

 the portable cabin. A series of planks is used as a straight-edge and a workman with a spade 

 makes a V-shaped trench. The loaded planting-board is then placed in the trench and earth is 

 pressed against the roots. One side of the board swings open and the machine is withdrawn 

 leaving the seedlings firmly in position, equally distanced. This method makes tree planting 

 a rapid and accurate i)rocess.
