What causes snowdrifts ? “Wind carries the snow and drops it whenever the wind velocity is reduced or the wind direction is; changed”, notes Mr. B, E. Brubaker, Agricultural Engineer, Ontario' Department of Agriculture, “Adjacent to areas where snowdrifts1' are a, problem, it’s wise to put up barriers slowing down the wind so the snow dirlops before it hits the area.” Evergreen trees, advises Mr. Brubaker, are the best snow fences for protection of lanes, barnyards, and buildings.. They -do, however, take several years to grow before they are useful. In the meantime, it’s a good idea to erect snow fences, in strategic locations.. These fences should be installed at right angles to the wind, and 60 to 100 feet from the points where the snow piles into, drifts. ■ While snow fences require labor, to put up and take down, they are much less exasperating than shovelling snow or getting Stuck, says Brubaker. New buildings 'and silos change the wind patterns a- round existing buildings and farmsteads and could cause further snow irritations, so Mr, Brubaker advises careful de cision-making on the location of these structures.' Agricultural extension engin eers, located throughout the province, will 'be glad to assist, in your farm planning. They can be contacted through coun ty offices of the Ontario De partment of Agriculture.
