WHERE IS THE MAN WITH A
PRACTICAL PLAN?

Where is the man with a practical plan
for the establishment of some system of
irrigation in this island lis it possible to
establish any such, or are we condemned
to sit with folded hands during the drv
spells, which sometimes, as we have seen,
extend over 81 years, watching the fugi-
tive clouds? OF course trees would do
something,-we maintain that point
straightforward the retaining and storing
of some part of the moisture which the
land receives. But supposing, what will
by no means be the case, that every man,
in town as well as country, who has q
waste piece OF land is fully impressed with
the great utility of tree planting, and.
wishing to make himself useful, he goes on
planting, an idea that may be assumed
for arguments sake, is then all DONE
Will these trees grow, or will not the
planter OF them be discouraged by seeing,
perhaps, most of them die from want
OF moisture 2 There seems to be a notion
that almost every kind of tree would grow
where, f. In, the sugar cane would not.
That this notion is not general we are, of
course, aware but we may be allowed,
again, for arguments sake, to assume that
it exists to such an extent as to be danger
Gus in practice. The growth of forest
trees is IN all countries influenced by soil.
climate and the action of man. We NAV
safely assume that, with moisture supplied,
the poorest soil in this island is capable of
supporting some kinds of trees adapted
to our climate. There remains then this
moisture to be provided for, and of
this we also know, that the average rain
fall would be sufficient, if only the distri-
button of it were more equal. According
to the late Major Lang's observations at
Ellza's Retreat, the average annual fall of
rain at that place, for the period from
1888 to 1851, was 80 inches and S lines.
of which more than one half fell in the
four months from August to November.
The average fall from 1851 to the present
time in other parts of the island has been
recorded as somewhat greater, but then
we must remember that these parts are
more favoured than the spot where Major
Lang made his observations. D iylse9soYYa
We would not then be far from The
mark in setting down the average fall of
rain tor the whole island at $50 inches.
Now, if that quantity of water was equal
ly distributed, not exactly over the differ
ent months OF the year, for that is not so
essential, but over the different iyearspof
the period, almost every part ofthis3island
would be able to- grow both trees, includ-
ing those OF the greatest economical I'M
portance, as coffee, but also the sugar cane,
not to speak of pasture. Those places on
ly would be excepted which from their
exposure to the wind and salt spray can
bear nothing but stunted shrubs. j .3oisd

Three Tons Of Hay Per Acre.,

AR. George Gcddcs reports that ho
cut and drew eighty loads Of timothy
and clover hay from nineteen acres, and
that an average load Weighed 1900
pounds; thus the whole field must have
yielded three tons per acre He also
reports hIr. Swaby, Of Seneca Falls, n,
having drawn forty floads from twelve
acres of clover. These were certainly
fine crops, but it must be remembered
that hay as drawn 6from the field will
shrink from ten to twelve per cent. aud
that these three tons will not weigh out
moro than two and one-half tons. at
most, in winter. Mr., Gcddes also cut 4.

husho!s to an acre. ssHc thinks the land
can ssstand this sort of cropping by max

crop to be fed out on the farm or pattur
