W. Lyons, a gradu- ate in Forestry at the University of Toronto, as resident forester in charge. Twelve acres of land were carefully stumped and the ground thoroughly cultivated. Owing to the inferior nature of the soil, fertilizer was necessary and was obtained by mixing farm- yard manure and bog-muck in equal parts and allowing it to stand under cover for a year be- fore it was applied to the land. This produced a well-rotted fertilizer which mixed well with the soil, without leaving the latter too open and, therefore, subject to too ready evaporation ed in rows ten inches apart by five inches in the row. This transplanting requires careful supervision. As it is a much slower operation than that of "lifting,' the plants are "heeled in" in wide, shallow trenches as soon as they are taken from the beds. This makes it possible to keep the roots thoroughly moist, without de- /aying the "lifting" process. The transplanting is done mainly by boys and girls with the aid of a few men to dig and fill in the trenches. The seedlings are carried from the heeling-in beds to portable cabins placed near the trans- plant beds. Here they are "; For this purpose planting-boards, about eight feet fong and five inches wide and provided with.
