| an happy TO aiirm that the main ,ta'c-
m@nts in those articles are correct, but an
sorry 10 see such Il mistake as appeared in

has now eighty acres under cultyation.'
The trees are planted not more than one
yard apait, or one tree to each square yard.
Now if there are 80 acres under cultivation
There must be 331-!UO trees, instead of
lOJ,O)O | suppose there are about 20 acres
now covered with trees which at one tree
per square yard would amount to 9G, 500
trees, about the number ON the ground
Mr.. r. has 80 acres that he hopes before
long to oct covered With Mulberry trees.
and from this fact may have originated the
mistake above referred to.
1t may be thought unwisc to place tie
Mulberry trees SO near together. The reason
that the owner Of the Plantation has given is
