CLOSE PLANTING. • . - Will Produce Better Timber Trees Than -Wider Spacinge-Other Ad -vantages. Feresters 'Plant very young and small trees and plant them very close together. From four to six feet 'apart each way is the usual distance in forestry plant - mg noweedays, though less and greater distances have their advocates. Of course, in plapting an orchard, sr shade -trees, or, say maples for a sugar - bush, the trees will be planted farther apart; but In planting for the purpose otaarising,o, woed-lot the figurea given above hold. 'By thus cnowding the trees better timber ls produced, for the -trees will grow taller end straighter. Such trees will be found naturally in. a thick wood as compared with a more open one. The dead branches will fail off better (in other words, the tree will prune it- self better) and the timber will .be freer. from knots. erenenn for _close planting is to bring the. eseweis pf the trees to- gether within tr reasonable time. The asTerieFefierieeen the -thew should be sue.h that the. trees will come together in at least six to eight years; if in less time, all the better. The soil will be iniproVed and the. growth in height it the trees..increased by this meetirig of the cement. In some regions (the prairie country, for instance) cultivation is necessary for the first few years after planting the teees; and Mister 'these conditions the close planting shortens the time during which it is necessary to . cultivate the glantation. Where a plantation has been made with the trees four feet apart each way (at least, in the .providces ef etanitoba and Saskatchewan) it is found that three years' cultivation will suffice; if the -trees were put six feet apart each my, cultivation would be necessary for twice that time, or even longer. , , It is the exceptiooal Woreani ie'dai who has a figure thet looks well in a real empire gown.

The Minister of Agriculture -for Ontario has, for the past two years, had under consideration plans for further assisting the fruit growers of the Province. Spraying has now ,beconie, in producing a superior grade of fruit, the most im- portant operation of the year, and while widely practiced in certain sections, has not yet been given the attention that it requires in. the apple sections. The ad- vent of the power sprayer is of such recent date that the advantages it gives. especially in the spraying of apple orchards, is not yet appreciated. For many years the Department of Agriculture has been advocating more and better spraying. Demonstration.s in the use of hand and power outfits. and the preparation and application of the most effective mixtures. have been given throughout the Province with satisfac- tory results. It is now telt that such in- formation has been sufficiently diffused, and another step forward is proposed. The Provincial Fruit Growers' ASSOCla• lion has within the past three years as- sisted in organizing large number ef fruit growing associations. one of the aims of these associations has been the co-operative spraying of orchards of their members, and it is now proposed te assist these and kindred organiza- tions in such spraying work. With this aim In view, the Minister of Agriculture has asked the Legislature for a grant of $6.000 to be devoted to the assistance of fruit growers in the purchase anti oper• anon of power spraying outfits. many association.s already own and are oper- ating such machines, and ,these will re. ceive the same aid as thcise organizing during I907, The conditions under which tip, grants are available have been made as simple as possible with the hope that a decided stimulus will be given to thp proper spraying of orchards during this and corning seasons.
