 landowners in the eastern part of the Province in tree planting. Some of the 

 material there was used for demonstrating purposes on the school property and 

 some was distributed locally.

 stock in the nursery as follows:

New Liskeard 



For some time the establishing of a small nursery in the northern part of the 

 Province has been under consideration. Tree planting in New Ontario, of 

 course, has not advanced rapidly because there is not the same need there, due 

 to the abundance of forest, as there is in Southern Ontario. It has been found, 

 however, that when the forest is removed for agricultural purposes in the north, 

 the wind does considerable damage to crops. The purpose, therefore, of estab- 

 lishing this nursery is to supply local farmers with suitable material for wind- 

 break planting and to have it on hand for local distribution when the spring 

 season opens up.
