§ 38. Sir ARTHUR FELLasked the President of the Board of Agriculture if his attention has been called to the use by an American railway company of a machine for planting trees economically which will plant 8,000 trees a day with three men; and if he will make inquiry into the working of this machine and to its suitability for the purpose of afforestation after the War?
§ Sir R. WINFREYMy attention has not been called to this machine, and I shall be glad if my hon. Friend will send me any particulars he has about it, so that I can consider whether it is likely to be suitable for our purpose.
