In order Lo overcome the loss of 

 water through difTusion lhroiii«h stems 

 and leaves of the plants, the advant- 

 age of shelter belts in the form of 

 trees, is pointed out by scientists, the 

 tree belts obviously cooling and moist- 

 ening the air and breaking its force. 



The total removing of forest trees, 

 from a country that is naturally wood- 

 ed is a mistake from more than one 

 point of view and is a sign of too 

 much desire for immediate cash re- 

 turns through cultivated crops, on the 

 part of the farmers, without consid- 

 eration for the future. There are 

 few people that prefer a treeless 

 stretch of country, as a place to live 

 in but nearly all wish to have the 

 benefit of the presence of trees within 

 view, at the expense of a neighbor. 



The planting of wind breaks is be- 

 coming more general in the North- 

 West because farmers in that section 

 recognize, at least, the comfort that 

 results from such shelter, while those 

 who take note of the results of such 

 practice see that their crops bene- 

 fit from the presence of the trees. 

 Sheltering belts of trees are now 

 needed in many parts of Eastern 

 Canada, and in order to maintain 

 comfortable and safe farming con- 

 ditions the land owners should start 

 planting as soon as possible.
