/ PREPARATION FOR PLANTING.
The first stage in attending to the
work OF preparing the plot to be plant
ed is commenced in the first part of the
dry season (January or February,
which in the tropical region generally
begins in the month of November: The
first part of the work consists in cut
ting down all the underbrush and small
vegetation, with either the machete,
hoe or garrabato; this operation is
followed by telling the large trees with
axes or saws, leaving a few suitable
trees every 20 or 25 feet, either way
TO furnish shade for the young plants.
The branches must be Topped and then
strewn evenly over the ground, and
stumps left to rot on the ground. The
large trunks which can afford timber
for use in buildings and in other i'm
provements are carried away, While
those which can not be utilized in this
manner are left lying on the ground
In four weeks, on a sunny day after
the morning dew has evapOrated and
when the wind is blowing in the proper
direction, the whole heap Of twigs,
brushwood, ETC., is burned. The burn
ing of the brush on the ground in the
preparation of the future plantation.
especially in rich virgin lands, destroys
many a seed that would otherwise pro
duce weeds and all sorts of vermin and
insects. Yet, where possible, it is bet
ter not to burn the brush, but to pack
it in lines between the young plants.
The land having been cleared, the
next thing is TO line it out and then
SOW in corn so as to harvest it before
June or July

METHODS OF PLANTING

In Mexico, as most of the coffee lands
are hilly, area and confguration exer-
else great influence on the distribu-
ton of the plants; hence lining, or
marking and distance, must be re-
gulated by the topography of the plot.
The arrangement that has been adopt
ed by the greater part of the planters
IN this country is that of dividing the
land into blocks, generally 100 meters
each way 1928 feet square or 2.47 acres)
which are separated by roads 4 meters
(13.13 fee) in width. In marking the
plot, care should be taken to get the
lines symmetrical, for a badly lined
plantation causes much trouble in Gull
tiyatiOn and harvesting. good way
TO line out the land is to get two or
three laborers to make a stake line.
called maestro" (the main line)
throughout the distance intended to
be planted, endeavoring to make it as
straight as possible. For this purpose
two straight sticks are cut according
| TO the length Of the distance desired
between each tree; with these sticks,
the spaces are measured out along the
ground. Then labOrer follows, pla-
cling the sticks straight into the ground
until the main line is completed. From
this line the other lines are staked out.
the places where the coffee trees have
to be planted being thus indicated.
The distance at which coffee trees
should be planted will vary according
to the soil and the lay of the land
On very fertile soil, where there is an
abundance of nutritive elements, the
distance adopted ought never to be

feet, which would give a little ove1
500 trees to the acre. For an avera e
soil, with little or no exposure, 6S
trees, by S feet distant, would be
fair number.
Along the Mexican and Agricola rail
ways, in the districts of Orizaba anC
Cordoba, Eeracruz, the trees are some
times so overcrowded as to injure eacl
other and diminish the crops. 1t is
mistake to imagine that the create
the number of trees on a given piec
OF land the greater will be the return
in crops. The atmosphere, sun, an
rain have a great deal TO do with plan
growth: and in order that these i'm
pOrtanJ agencies may work properly
there must be sufficient space aroun
a tree for the air TO circulate freeI
and for the sunlight TO enter. Crowd
ing of plants prevents this and doe
much harm in other ways. The root
intertwine and rob one another of tn
available plant food, which should no7
exist in the soil in a soluble condition
This plant food is distracted from tn
land in order to build up the man
wood stems and sterile branches Of tn
crowded trees, whereas if the plant
were put at proper distances, the foo
in the soil would be taken up to pre-
duce not a number of useless stem:
but a quantity of fruitful branches o
well-fOrmed trees. Thus it happen
that large crops are obtained from few
er trees as NAV be seen in some dis
