A lit'ty-foot Are lane to protect the plantation on the left. In the center of the pic- 

 ture and at the inner edge of the Are lane is a six-foot trench, made with mat- 

 tocks and shovels by taking off the turf which surrounds the planting. Burning 

 brush in separate piles, when the snow is on the ground, to avoid forest fires.
