WINDBREAK TREES 
Use the following tough, quick-growing trees for that 
windbreak you need around the house and barns. Much 
experience has shown that any stock sheltered and 
protected from strong, cold winter winds, will do bet- 
ter. Less feed is required to produce beef and dairy 
cows, chickens and pigs will all produce more when 
given this protection. Save those high fuel bills for the 
house too, as it will certainly require less fuel to heat 
the well sheltered home. A fairly long range invest- 
“ment but bound to pay high dividends in the long run. 
CHINESE ELM. Hardy Siberian strain. Grows rapidly
