FEED YARDS PROTECTED BY WIND¬ 
BREAKS WILL CUT YOUR 
FEEDING COSTS! 
Read Below. 
BLACK HILLS PINE (Bull Pine), are the hardiest, most drought-resistant of all evergreens 
Evergreens Cut Feed and Fuel Costs 
Evergreens should be included in every farm shelter- 
belt. It’s one of the best investments you can make. 
They stop the cold and snow and make the farmstead a 
comfortable, attractive and pleasant place in which to 
live and work. They will save their cost every year. 
Instructions for Planting 
The soil in the space to be planted should be well 
prepared as. you would for any farrii crop. Plant trees 
as early in spring as possible. Potatoes or vegetables 
may be planted between the tree rows for two or three 
ye^s. Cultivate trees as often as possible in the spring 
and summer but not after the first of August. The 
snow trap may be planted to corn, potatoes, or any 
farm crop. 
Evergreens in sizes marked TR. (transplanted) may 
be set out directly into the windbreak row and culti¬ 
vated as you would rows of corn. Evergreens in sizes 
marked S (seedlings) should be set in the garden where 
you can give them special attention the first two years, 
then reset them into the permanent windbreak. 
Black Hills Pine (Bull Pine) 
Outstanding in hardiness and drought resistance. 
This is the shelter-belt tree that has best survived the 
past dry seasons in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Fast 
growing, with long needles, deep green on the surface 
and bluish white underneath. 
Austrian Pine 
Dark green tree of extremely handsome form, ideal 
for backgrounds, windbreaks, or as a specimen tree on 
the lawn. Long needles, great spreading 
branches, a rapid grower. 
Scotch Pine 
Hardy, extremely rapid of growth, and 
tolerant of soil, they are ideal for wind¬ 
breaks. 
Black Hills Spruce 
A very good, compact evergreen, quite 
drought resistant; next in value to Black 
Hills Pine and Blue Spruce for windbreaks. 
Colorado Blue Spruce 
A beautiful tree. Drought resistant and 
recommended especially for the inside row 
of the evergreen windbreak. 
Recommended Spacing and 
Arrangement 
Four to eight rows of trees are recommended on the 
north and west—2 to 4 rows on south and east. The 
recommended spacing is to plant 2 rows of Caragana 
on the outside to form a snowbreak. Plant 4 feet apart 
in the row and 8 feet between rows. 
Leave 60 feet for a snow trap then plant 4 rows of 
Green Ash -Chinese Elm, and American Elm, spaced 
6 feet apart in the row and 8 feet between rows. 
Inside, plant 2 rows of evergreens 8 to 10 feet apart 
in the row and 16 feet between rows. The inside row 
of evergreens should be 100 feet from the farm build¬ 
ings. This space and the snow trap give ample space 
to drop the snow and leave the building and yards 
free from drifts. 
For solid woodlot planting, set trees 8 to 9 feet 
apart each way. Ash, Elm, Norway Poplar, and Black 
Walnut are especially recommended for woodlot plant¬ 
ing. 
STEERS PROTECTED BY WINDBREAK 
MADE $243.00 MORE PROFIT! 
Comparative tests have proven that farm products 
can be produced at less cost in farmyards protected 
by windbreaks. In the case of beef—2 lots of 50 
steers each, one lot fed in a protected yard, the other 
not protected by a windbreak. Those in the pro¬ 
tected yard had the same kind and amount of feed 
as the others, but gained 2,250 pounds more. Sold 
at $10.80 per hundred, this lot brought extra return 
of $243.00.
