For Winter Protection Choose an Evergreen Windbreak 
Proven Calorie Saver Backed by USDA and Conservation Service 
It takes feed, high caloric feed, to offset winter's sweeping winds. Whether it is food for the 
family dining table or feed for the feedlot, on a farmstead protected by a shelterbelt, less of each 
will be used. 
Both the United States Department of Agriculture and the Soil Conservation Service indicate 
that less feed and less labor is involved in producing beef in feedlots protected by windbreaks. The 
SCS through a series of experiments has come to the conclusion that the windbreak area will pro- 
duce more beef than the same area would if planted to a feed crop. 
The same is true with dairy cows, chickens and pigs. Each will produce more when protected 
from winter's gales. 
A. house protected by a shelterbelt will use less fuel than the same house in the open. 
If you do not have a shelterbelt, you probably paid out more in increased fuel and feed costs in 
a year than a shelterbelt would have cost you, and you still do not have your windbreak. 
Why go on wasting food, feed and fuel? Let us help you plan your shelterbelt needs for this 
spring.

Steers Protected by Windbreak 
Made $243.00 More Profit! 
Comparative tests have proven that farm prod- 
ucts 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 pro- 
tected yard, the other not protected by a wind- 
break. Those in the protected yard had the same 
kind and amount of feed as others, but gained 
2,250 pounds more. Sold at $10.80 per hundred, 
this lot brought extra return of $243.00.
