Trees Reduce Heating Cost 
Heating requirements in a house unprotected by 
trees are tripled when cold winds reach a velocity 
of 20 miles an hour, says the News Bulletin of the 
Pennsylvania Department of Agricidture in recom¬ 
mending that farmers and other home owners plant 
windbreaks. Winter temperatures are two to six 
degrees higher on the leeward side of a windbreak 
than on the windward side.
