PREPARING FIELD FOR PLANTING 



191 



Referring now to the large map of the field and turning the right 

 angle at point A, project lines on two field lines, but not where trees 

 are to stand. From point A, set the first stake, 30 feet along the line 

 A-B, marking the location of the outer row. Set the remaining stakes: 

 40 feet apart. The last stake should be 30 feet from B. Set the first

stake along A-D, 30 feet from A, and all other stakes 40 feet apart, 

 excepting the last stake which should be 30 feet from D. 



At B, erect another right angle, and set line B-C along the boundary. 

 Close the end C-D, testing to see that A-B and C-D check as to length 

 and altering points C and D, until the measurements are the same. This 

 may make necessary slight adjustments of the stakes in lines A-D and 

 B-C. Disregard irregular planting areas that fall outside the plan, as 

 these may be filled in easily after the main area is set.
