able it is estimated that at least 3,OO0,-
900 seedlings will result.

five inches apart. Five seeds will be
planted to every lineal inch, and it is
estimated that at least three out of the
five seeds will germinate. For several
weeks after the plants come out of the
ground they will be screened from the
excessive heat of the sun by screens of
lath and brush. After they are two
years old, they will be taken up and
planted in thes reserve at the rate OF
1000 seedlings to every acre. There
