Plant a Marshalls Windbreak ... Quick Growing, Inexpensive 
Good windbreaks pay for themselves by saving feed, saving fuel, reducing 
Snow shoveling, screening unsightly views, protecting your livestock and 
your home. Such plantings will also furnish fire wood, a point in many in- 
stances worthy of consideration. «With land still plentiful it is doubtful 
if two or more acres can be put to better use than providing a shelter for 
the farmstead, in a climate where freezing winds are blowing nearly half 
the year. The trimmings froma good sized grove will furnish summer wood, 
poles, posts and timber. Comparative tests have proven that farm products 
Can be produced at less cost, and with higher yields on farms protected by 
Windbreaks. 
Add to these the advantages and benefits derived in the beauty and satis-— 
faction of a well planted farmstead. No other investment will produce so 
great a return in added attractiveness and value. 
Preparation of the Ground .. 
The ground should be thorough- 
ly prepared, in the same manner 
as you would for any other farm 
crop. Deep plowing and thorough 
firming of the vsoid with disc 
and harrow is important. Plant- 
ing should be done in the man- 
ner suggested in our "How To. 
Plant" booklet, which is fur- 
nished free to all customers. 
Cultivation is very important 
and should be practiced regu- 
larly from early spring to mid- 
August.
