R. M. Eldon. What objection is there to watering the trees as 

 you plant it ? 



Prof. Blake. If the soil is properly prepared I do not think it 

 is necessary. It seems to me if the ground is plowed as early in 

 the spring as possible and then the trees put in, they certainly 

 should be in fine condition. 



Question. Does not pouring of water on the tree do away with 

 air spaces ? 



Prof. Blake. I do not see why there should be any injury from 

 pouring water on the trees. The wet ground should be covered up 

 with dry soil. The soil should be in fine condition early in the 

 spring.
