'With the small breadth of the clearings the 

 sowing of them will take place from the surrounding 

 plantations. In planing out the clearings, one by the 

 side of another, for five, seven, or ten years, as this is

 leaving of seed trees will not assist reproduction. The 

 seed trees will be broken by the wind, and the leaving 

 them, without bringing any assistance to reproduction, 

 will only bring a loss in the sale.
