TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR WINDBREAK PLANTERS 
Washington, July 12. —The forest service has devised a 
deealogue for the use of farmers in the plains regions. These 
ten commandments are to be displayed as part of the exhibit 
which the forest service is preparing for an exposition to be 
held during October at Tulsa, Oklahoma, in connection with 
the eighth international dry farming congress. The com¬ 
mandments for owners of windbreaks are as follows: 
I. Place the windbreak at right angles to the direction 
of injurious prevailing winds. 
II. Devote from one-eighth to one-fifth of the farm to 
timber. Its protective value more than pays for the ground 
it occupies, to say nothing of the timber yield. 
III. Plant only speeies suited to windbreak use, to the 
region and to the locality. 
IV. Plant rapid growers_^for quick results; but under¬ 
plant with slower growing species, which are usually longer 
lived and more valuable. 
[V. Supplement a deeiduous windbreak with evergreens 
to^afford protection in winter. 
VI. Separate trees by the spacing proper to the species 
used. The trees should be close enough to produee a dense 
windbreak and to yield good poles, but should not be so 
crowded as to produee spindling growth. 
VII. Make the windbreak thiek from the bottom up, 
espeeially on the side toward the wind. This may be done 
by using speeies which branch near the ground, by planting 
outside rows of low-growing trees, by encomaging natural 
reproduction, and by underplanting. 
VIII. Cultivate the plantation thoroughly while it is 
young. 
IX. Do not allow excessive grazing where reproduction 
is desired. 
X. Do not thin your woodlot too_^heavily or take out 
the best trees for minor uses. Remember that a timber 
tract should be improved by use and that each clearing 
should leave it in better condition than before. 
Other exhibits will show the proper loeations^for wind¬ 
breaks, suitable species for planting, and the direction of 
harmful prevailing winds in various regions.
