TREE CDLTrRE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 37 



several rows of trees on the fence lines ; all so as to secure the requisite 

 conditions for a sufficiency of moisture over the country, to maintain a 

 supply of timber for the farm, to produce the degree of shade and shelter 

 necessary for the healthy growth of crops and development of hve stock, 

 and to give each and every subject that pleasing and ornamental aspect 

 which at the present time is so much wanted and sought after. 



The larger the piece of ground devoted to a plantation, the better wiU 

 the trees succeed as a whole. Be advised, therefore, to plant as much as 

 possible in large masses.
