Windbreaks, Hedges The Linn County Nurseries 
We expect to under-cut these as soon as the frost is out so a gang 
of three can get them out quite efficiently. If possible the buyer 
should come prepared to load the trees directly into his truck from 
the field. 
SPACING. For single row windbreaks plant Pines and Spruces 
7 to 8 feet apart; for double rows plant 10 to 12 feet apart in the row 
and space the rows still farther. 
SOILS. Pines prefer light, well drained soils, and White Pine in 
particular is likely to be short-lived if planted in very rich soil such 
as an old feed lot or where the drainage from a feed lot or manure pile 
runs near them. In places where it is quite wet, Spruce will do better 
than Pine. 
PESTS. Red Spider or Mite causes much damage if there are not 
frequent dashing showers in early summer to destroy the young, and 
a rusty appearance is likely to be due to them. Water applied under 
a high pressure to the top every few days is an effective remedy. Pine 
Needle Scale is found almost everywhere and under favorable condi- 
tions may become a serious pest. White spots on the leaves of pine 
or spruce are likely due to it. Both this and Red Spider can be 
controlled by a single thorough spraying with Lime Sulphur such as 
orchardists use, in the regular dormant strength (1 to 8 of water) ap- 
plied on warm days in spring before the new growth starts. Soluble 
oil sprays also are effective, but must be used with much caution. 
With frequent dashing showers through June, when the young are 
crawling, neither of these pests is likely to be serious. 
PINE—ponderosa. Bull Pine. 50-60 ft. Very long coarse leaves and 
stiff rugged branches not easily broken. Endures extreme drought. 
Requires full sun and tolerates no shade.

—White Pine. 70-80 ft. In spite of some breakage at times from heavy 
loads of ice, and that an occasional spraying may be needed to pro- 
tect it from insect pests, we still think White Pine is one of the best 
of all windbreak trees. On a suitable soil and location it makes a 
very long lived beautiful tree retaining its branches to the ground. 
Do not plant it where drainage is poor nor on soil too rich from 
sometimes having been a feed lot or having the drainage from one 
across it.
