Save Feed With Windbreaks 
Says U.S. D. A. 
Less feed and labor are required to produce beef in feed- 
lots protected by shelterbelts or windbreaks, say the 
United States Department of Agriculture and the Soil 
Conservation Servic. After a series of experiments the 
SCS came to the conclusion that your windbreak area 
will produce more beef than the same area planted to a 
| feed crop. 
The same is true with your dairy cows, chickens and 
pigs. Each will produce more when protected from win- 
ter’s sweeping winds. Your house will require less fuel 
and you will have less drifting of snow in the farm yard, 
too.

If your farmstead is not protected, you have probably 
paid out more in fuel and feed costs than the cost of a 
windbreak—and you still don’t have it! Moreover, you 

miss a constant source of firewood, lumber and posts. 
Let us help plan a shelterbelt to fit your needs.

LAUREL LEAF WILLOW. The best willow for windbreak 
work. Branches provide dense, glossy, dark green foliage 
from the ground up—ideal for the two outside rows of the 
windbreak as a snow-catch. Leaves stay on late in the fall 
for added protection. Planted 3 feet apart and 60 to 100 feet 
from a roadway, Laurel Leaf makes a beautiful addition to 
the landscape over the years. It also provides a natural and 
inexpensive snow fence.
