the most recent time. As to sowing, he presents more detailed data and mentions
the density of the new growth. He especially discusses the sowing on burnt-over
areas of ganigues where Aleppo Pine was, broadcast sown mixed with barley in the
ratio 4:1 in favour of barley, and describes a sowing for orientation purposes
performed in Italy which was earlier adapted by him aljso far our conditions.


Further the author reports on the sowing in patches and on the conditions
under which it is performed today, as veil as on the other methods of sowing such
as are caried out with dibble and sickle. He gives general comments as to seed
tireatmeint before sowing and presents data from investigations ^airried out to this
end by the one-time Institute for Experimental Foretsry of the Yugoslav Academy.


Then he comments on the previous sowing methods and the poor results, and
deals with the preparation and treatment of soil, the time and depth of sowing,
protestion against insolation and possibilities for the conservation of waiter in the soil.
He makes his own proposals for sowing, specifies the most important plant
associations in which — owing to shade — it is posible to perform sowing, speaks
about the soil and recommends the patches to be prepared on better sails sized
30 x 30 x 20 cm. He recommends fine preparation of the soil, and that one should
apply a dense broadcast sowing like in a nursery. Sowing Should ibe ´made up to 5
cm. deeper than usual in order to assure the new growth against droughts. The soil
is hoed up several times yearly — especially after each rainfall — in order to
minimize evaporation. The new growth is protected by the neighbouring vegetation.
He mentions the species which he considers — under the present—day knowledge
of seed properties and sowing techniques — to be applicable to the afforestation of
degraded Karts terains by sowing. In conclusion the author states that successful
sowing represents the most economical and thus the cheapest method of afforestation.
