Prairie Farmers Planting
'Trees.
At many of the gatherings of farm-
ers in the Prairie Provinces during
the winter of 1921-22, the subject of
�sail.drifting was discussed and the
remedy most often proposed was that
of planting' windbreaks of trees across
the path of the prevailing wind. About
sixty million little trees have been
sent out from the Dominion Forest

An appreciation of what. the grass-

farmers may be gained from a report

that province, says the Natural Re-

pest the government, in 1921, supplied
to the rugal mutuicipalities 106 oars of
