Wouldn't you pay a fat premium to get a prairie farm with such a grove of evergreens as this? wan. Both of these nurseries have a capacity of from four to five milHons annually. 'I'lie ])rincii)al feature of our distri- bution is the inspection system, and the success of the scheme is due very largely to this inspection. As far as possible, every applicant for trees is visited, and no trees are granted un- less the conditions comply with our regulations. Approximately 45 per cent, of ap])lications are turned down each season, princi])ally on account i>f lack of ])reparation. Eight inspec- tors are employed on this work. In the summer they are on the road from Innc td ()ct(il)cr. and during winter tliex' work in the oil ice pre ])aring the distriluitimi lists, planting ])lans, etc. In regard to -tock. we use only one year JNlanitoba ma])le. two year ash. one vear caragana and ni>rooted cut- tings of ])opl;irs and w illow-~. We do not ad\ise cutting back to the of the seedlings except the carigana, which when used for hedge must be cut back to the ground at ^ime of j)lanting. We strongly advise against any general pruning in a shelter belt. as it only means extra work and makes conditions for the growth of trees leas favorable. The belt should l)e grown as thick as possible from the ground up. If pruning is done, it should be confined to the inside rows. Evergreens are sent out at a nom- inal charge ^A one cent each, ol $ per 100. We use four year trans- ])lants of Scotch and jack pine, and li\e \ ear transplants of white spruce. riie demand is greater than wo can >up]>ly. At Indian Head we tind that the growth of the more common trees, ascertained from hundreds of mea- surements made each year on the nurserv. is a:.
