trees, then passing over four to the next four, both, 
up, the line and across the field, you will admit suffi- 
ciently of every tree getting a taste of the fresh 
earth as roots from every tree may thus reach a hole 
and draw sustenance from its contents. The first.

By the former process we find 25 holes in 6 rows: 
of 6 trees each. In the same number of rows and 
trees of the second style we find only 9 holes. By 
the first process every four trees draw nourishment 
from five holes. By the second, every four trees 
have a hole to themselves. The latter is of course 
the more economical plan, while the former opens 
up the land the better, and provides space for col- 
lecting more of the surface wealth of the soil which 
otherwise too often finds its way to the sea. Jf,
