INSPECTION 



The inspection of plantations owned by individuals and supplied with 

 material from the Ontario Forestry Branch, was carried on from the point 

 reached last summer (1922). 



The area covered comprises the counties of Bruce, Huron, Kent, Essex, 

 and Norfolk. The last named county supports a great number of these planta- 

 tions (considerably greater than any of the others). This is due to the proximity 

 of the St. Williams Forest Station from which trees may be fetched personally 

 by those who wish to plant them. The total number of plantations in Norfolk 

 County, including those under 500 trees and those planted this year, amounts 

 to 280. The next county to this is York with 138 plantations. 



A total of 124 plantations were visited, which are apportioned among the 



counties as follows: 



Norfolk 72 



Kent 15 



Essex ._ 8 



Bruce ." 13 



Huron 16 



These plantations are of all ages and size, ranging from those planted in 

 the spring of 1922 to those commenced in 1907 and 1908. The individual area 

 averages approximately one and a half acres. As regards the general success 

 of these plantings 84.7 per cent, have made good where the test is a survival 

 of 33 per cent, of trees in each case. 



There was very little sign of disease among the trees. A few of the white 

 pine plantations have been attacked by the weevil, but in no case to any serious 

 extent. The Scotch pine are invariably in a healthy condition.
