system was used with some of the fall transplanting; 1,243,600 plants were set 

 out in the spring and 993,000 in the autumn. 



Permanent Planting: Considerable permanent planting was done on the 

 property, including windbreaks and hedges around nursery ground. The per- 

 manent planting destroyed by grasshoppers last year was filled in. The planting 

 this spring was very successful, the mortality on most of the plantations being 

 less than five per cent. The grasshoppers attacked one plantation, but they 

 were checked by using bran poison mash. The paris green was found more 

 effective than arsenate of lead. There is approximately 200 acres planted up 

 permanently now. 



Roads: Fire roads were made, dividing plantations into compartments. 

 These were laid out with two objects in view: first, to divide plantations into 

 approximately equal compartments; second, to provide roads and drives later on.

Building: A water system was installed during the year. The water is 

 pumped from a spring creek into a 20,000-gallon tank placed on a 100-foot steel 

 tower. The system is quite satisfactory and was used this summer with Skinner 

 overhead equipment. 



A stable was built at one of the houses and garage at this house was moved 

 to site of other buildings. A small gasoline house was also built.
