These trees, planted near farm buildings, keep out snow and sleet, protecting the buildings and livestock on them and indirectly saving the farmers money. ‘Twenty-five to $50 invested in shel- terbelt trees seven to nine years ago, when the movement was popularized, ‘have resulted in an increase of $1,000 to $1,500 in the property value of some farms, according to statements of Towa farmers. One farmer says that his shelter- belt saves $5 worth of feed for every head of livestock behind it because the trees break the cold winds, the livestock require less feed and gain ‘more rapidly. A survey of some of the oldest demonstration shelterbelts in Iowa by I. T. Bode, extension forester at Towa State College, shows that trees planted properly and given an even chance to develop have reached the height of eight to 12 feet in seven growing seasons. Protects Man and Beast Already these trees have proved their value. Man and beast, protect- ed from cold winds, live in greater comfort. Snow is kept clear of the feedlots and farmyards. Less fuel is | required to heat the home. Farmers of the state have been quick to adopt this natural means of protection, and have regulated the growth of their shelterbelts scien- tifically. One farmer plans to plant two rows of trees every eight or nine years so he always will have a wind- break coming on. He will cut out the old. trees, use them for fence posts or other purposes and replace them with young trees as needed. Some farmers make a practice of growing seedlings in the garden to replace the few trees which need to be replaced in the windbreak. Shelterbelts require a 50-50 chance to grow properly, says Bode, If farm- ers were to plant corm in blue ghass sod and then permit chickens, hogs, cows, sheep and horses to run at large in the area eating off the leaves and trampling down the plants and the soil around them, little would be harvested at the end of the season. Yet too many farmers expect their trees to grow well under such condi- tions. Care Needed in Planting Tree planting will be started and finished early this year if favorable weather continues. Planting should not be done under old trees or too close to old trees. If the new windbreak is to stand where the old grove is now located the old trees should be removed long enough before so that the old roots have time to die. In the meantime the ground should be broken and planted to a light cov- er crop to keep down weeds and help get the soil in good condition. If the windbreak is to be planted on ground now in sod, the soil should be turned over and the ground farm- ed for at least a year in advance of Planting the trees. It should not be Plowed in the spring before trees are Planted. Evergreen varieties of trees should be used for the windbreak or at least @ part of it, because they hold their foliage all year and give the maxi- mum of protection. In a large part of the midwest, where average conditions exist and the soil is not too drouthy, Norway spruce and white pine are most sat- isfactory. For drier sections Black Hills spruce, Scotch pine and western yellow pine are drouth resistant. Spruce and Arbor Vitae should be used where the drainage is not good.

After 2 Pause the son continued: “You know the people of North Da- kota are vacationists and globe-trot- ters. From June to October over 25,000 of our young women will visit the Northern lakes and other water- ing places, and it is estimated that 40 per cent of them will catch husbands, thus further reducing-the chances of a resident. At least 31 per cent of the total number of marriageable girls will never marry at ali, choosing business and professional careers in preference to the uncertain career of matrimony. In addition to these terrible census figures, the state director of second- ary education has just reported 2,987 more girls than boys in our high schools. This means that the girls are growing more and more inde- pendent; and when they go fishing in other states at vacation time, you can bet your boots there will be more money spent for marriage licenses than for fishing licenses. Father, take this pencil and figure out your son’s chance of catching an- other girl if he fails to wed Lena Mc- Haugenhammer.” “Great Scott!” he gasped, figuring away for a moment. “Why, your chances are only one in 3,627!” “Just as I figured it our myself. ‘What shall I do about Lena?” “Do?
