78 AN AUSTRALIAN STUDY OF AMERICAN FORESTRY. 
The planting reconnaissance map shows— 
(1) Green timber. 
(2) Brush prohibitive to planting (very dense brush). 
(3) Reproduction sufficient (400 or more trees per acre). 
(4) Alienations. 
(5) Proposed camp sites (one to every 800—1,000 acres). 
(6) Proposed tracks. 
(7) Proposed roads. 
(8) Outlines of planting areas according to species, age, classes, and 
spacing to be used. 
On the back of the map are shown data as to— 
(1) Soil. 
(2) Brush. 
(3) Windfall. 
(4) Standing dead timber. 
The planting instructions issued by District No. 1 for 1916 work provided

The new men are put in one crew, or in the middle of the line. 
It is laid down that— 
(1) The camp should be ready before the crew arrives. 
2) Before work is commenced the man in charge should go over the 
g g' 
planting area with his foreman and plan; 
(a) A system for working the crews whereby they will start work 
each morning and finsh at night throughout the job, as 
near camp as possible. 
(5) The best system to follow in keeping crews supplied with trees 
and water. Trees and water should be packed on horses 
whenever possible. 
Each man is given a planting bag full of plants. The bag is carried over 
the shoulders. The foreman and end men are required to have them filled 
ready for the men before they leave camp. Wet burlap is wrapped round the 
roots in the bag to keep them moist.
