2. The land planted must be securely fenced.
3. It must have been devoted to planting for at
   least two years. (Section 2 of "The Forest Trees
   Planting Encouragement Act Amendment Act, 1872,"
   provides that if root crops are cultivated among the
   forest trees planted on any lands, such lands shall
   not, by reason only of such crops being cultivated,

   planting.)
4. The trees must be in a vigorous and healthy
   state when the grant of land is applied for.
5. The number of trees planted must be at the rate
   of not less than five hundred per acre.
6. The trees must be of an average height of two
   feet, except in the case of gum, wattle, poplar, or
   willow, which must be of an average height of six
   feet.
7. As soon as the land is fenced and the trees
   planted, a report must be sent to the Secretary for
   Lands, who will cause inspection of the same to be
   made; from the date of which, if duly certified, the
   two years will be calculated.
8. The amount of the land order to be issued
   under authority of section 4 of the Amendment
   Act, 1872, in respect of every acre of land planted,
   shall be four pounds.
9. The fulfilment of the conditions above pre-
   scribed shall be ascertained and shall be certified in
   the form annexed by an officer appointed by the
   Superintendent. Upon the receipt of such certifi-
   cate, the Superintendent may either issue his own
   certificate to the Waste Lands Board, or he may, if
   he thinks fit, cause further inquiry to be made into
   the facts of the case.
