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.

301-15 LAUREL LEAF WILLOW. The best willow for 
windbreak work. Branches provide dense, glossy, dark 
green foliage from the ground up—ideal for the two out-: 
side 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.

Protected Steers Make $240 Extra! 
In a comparative test some years ago, two lots of 50 steers 
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. 
Minnesota Black Walnut that is easy to grow and fine for 
shelterbelts. The delicious nuts produced are excellent in

high quality lumber.

EVERGREENS 
For the inside 2 to 4 rows evergreens should be used. They 
are very permanent and give extra protection during the win- 
ter. They will not do as much good during the early years 
of the shelterbelt, but their existence will make your planting 
more permanent. For rows 7 and 8, use Red Pine. For rows 
9 and 10 use Arbor-Vitae or White Spruce. 
305-01 AMERICAN ARBOR-VITAE. (For Windbreak and 
Hedging.) This popular, thick, compact evergreen makes an 
excellent windbreaker, snow stopper, or year-round hedge or 
screen. Its large, flat, dense branches hugging the ground 
make it useful for the inside row or two of the windbreak. 
Does best in fairly moist soil.
