In this plat an attempt was made to plant trees of useful timber at 
distances of 4 by 4 feet, filling in with less valuable species as nurses— 
Silver Maple, Boxelder, and Artemisia. Of what may be called the 
permanent trees (those set 4 by 4 feet) two-thirds are of Catalpa and 
Black Locust, species especially valuable for post timbers, and which 
could be cut out for this purpose when from 10 to 20 years of age, leav- 
ing the Elms, Birch, Cherry, and Ash at 8 feet apart to reach a larger 
size. Of these four species, the light-demanding Ash and Birch are 
alternated with the more shade-enduring Elm and Cherry.
