PLOT NEARLY FINISHED Marsh Lands Have Been Eliminated and Lagoons and Islands Substituted. Because of cooperation given by Battle Creek college the Leila Ar boretum is able thw spring to go ahead with an important phase of development work in which it had previously been up according to T.

Clifton Shepherd, city landscape architect and director of the arboretum, in a statement this morning. A farm of 55 acres which the college owns contiguous to the arboretum has been loaned for nursery purposes and for experimenting in plants new to Michigan. Material planted on the farm is to be transplanted later for more mature growth in the arboretum. Mr. Shepherd declares that this assistance has solved a problem existing ever since the arboretum was established, and whfch was preventing a satisfactory advancement of the grounds.

"We have been endeavoring to find proper nursery land for the past three years," Mr. Shepherd says. "The lands of the arboretum are rolling, and not suitable for cultivating the seedlings and young It washes out too easily, and has many other disadvantages for the very young shoots, although it is good soil and ideal for growing our vegetation after a hardy state has been reached and trans plantation takes place. During that time we have been looking quietly for convenient flat lands with rich soil that would be avail able. "We expect to have 3,000 plants growing on the farm within a short time.

The ploughing has been completed, and we start planting today. Before long we will have one of the hnest collections of plants in this part of America. In fact we are very proud of the collection as it now stands. We will begin planting the arboretum itself this year, and will have more than 1,000 species of plant life. Nowhere west of Painesviile, Ohio, is there anything of the type to compare with it.

"As an instance we will have more than 100 varieties of evergreens, including 18 varieties of pines. We also have 27 varieties of flowering ap'jle the malus and great varieties of other trees, shrubs, lilacs and roses. The United States government is using our lands as trial grounds, and nurseries also, have asked us to assist them. One of the most cele brated nurseries has sent us prac tically all of its varieties of roses with the request that we try them out in this section. It is at present quite uncertain whether they will be suitable for this section, but we'll be able to tell before long.

"There are approximately 60 va rieties of oaks. We sent out a gen eral inquiry and were able to find six varieties. The government has sent us five more kinds, and we have a letter from C. C. Thomas, horticulturist of the bureau of plant industry.

United States de partment of agriculture, stating the bureau had sent to England for several more varieties which we are to try out. Mr. Shepherd explained that the arboretum construction work is about completed. Marsh lands have been eliminated, and lagoons and islands substituted. Numerous plans for development are under way that have never been tried in any such preserve.

One idea will be to keep the families of trees and other plants together. An or.k that 15'iuires dry ground will be planted at the top of a slope, others will be graded down until those that need moist, rich earth will be placed in the lowlands, near the lagoons. It is further planned to extend the arboretum to 3 000 or 5,000 acres be fore it is completed. The farm loaned by the college is that which was donated to it sev eral years ago by the Haskell Home corporation.
