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 Service. 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 farmyard, 
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.

Protected Steers Make $240 Extra! 
In a comparative test sonie years ago, two lots of 50 stcers 
each were fed the same kind and amount of feed, but one 
lot was protected with a windbreak, the other unprotected. 
The protected lot gained 2,250 pounds more. Sold at 
$10.80 per cwt., this lot brought $243.00 more.
