To summarize the above tables: along the line of new work, 

 planting equals 500 acres and brushing, 150 acres; in the line 

 of maintenance, planting is equivalent to 115 acres and brush-

 that the number of trees used in filling in, if planted 6 by 6 

 feet apart, would cover that area. The actual area covered is 

 much greater.
