a Bottomland. 



Plantation No. IS. — Thi.s plantation is situated on rolling* upland, 

 tho it is cut by a small draw. The soil is a deep, fertile, sandy loam. 

 In the draw it is covered by humus to a depth of several feet. On the 

 tops of the knolls it is lighter in color, and humus is lacking. 



The trees were planted in 1883, one-year-old seedlings about 8 inches 

 high being used. These were small and inferior in quality. Before 

 planting, the ground was plowed and subsoiled to a depth of 18 inches, 

 and afterwards thoroly harrowed. The spacing w as 6 b}- 8 feet, re- 

 quiring 908 trees per acre. Cultivation was given for the first seven 

 3^ears. The trees were pruned six or seven years ago to a height of 8 

 feet. The grove has always been protected from live stock. 



Fort}^ dollars worth of posts, poles, and fuel per acre have been cut 

 from the plantation. 



The trees are tall and straight, with bushy crowns. The old wounds 

 caused by pruning are completely healed over. All the trees will fur- 

 nish posts, some as many as six. 



The success of this plantation is remarkable, since it is located within 

 a few miles of the ninety-ninth meridian, where the conditions are
