the present year, on less than half an acre of the same 

 poor soil, have been grown 15,000 splendid large leaf Can-

 inferior soil this most valuable mulberry will flourish. 



From the foregoing it may appear that Ihe most effec- 

 tual mode to extirpate the worm or insect from attacking 

 the locust tree, is to exclude as mucli light and heat from 

 the body of the tree as is consistent with its growth, by 

 dense plantation, or by transplanting the trees into ihe 

 midst of other forest trees. 



All of which is humbly submitted by

p. S. — I am now about surrounding the borders of the 

 locust with a row of horse chesiiut, not only for orna- 

 ment but to protect the borders from any supposed or real 

 injury.
