Instructions for Planting 
The soil in the space to be planted should be well prepared as you would for any farm crop. Plant 
trees as early in spring as possible. Potatoes or vegetables may be planted between the tree rows for 
two or three years. Cultivate trees as often as possible in the spring and summer but not after the 
flrst 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 
cultivated as you would rows of corn. Evergreens in sizes marked § (seedlings) should be set in. the 
garden where you can give them special attention the first two years, then reset them into the perma- 
nent 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 tbe 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 buildings. This space and the snow trap 
give ample space to drop the snow and leave the buildings 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 planting.

ing more fuel than you need 
or feeding your livestock 
longer than necessary. 
If your herd is protected, 
the food they eat turns into 
fat. The cows will give more 
milk, the chickens lay more 
eggs and the pigs will put 
fat on in a hurry. It’s all be- 
cause they are behind a good 
windbreak and do not have 
to use what they eat to keep 
them warm.
