Many of the windbreaks .ceryed while driving through the .country were planted many decades ago, At one time, it is unlikely that any thought was given to the mature trees which would grew from the tiny seedlings, Perhaps the planter at that time 'realized that when the trees would reach maturity, the land would have passed into the hands of the next generation. The trees of many of our wind- breaks are now mature, and some have been felled and sawn into logs. These trees yield valuable lumber which. can lw used, to advantage by the owner, or sold on the market at a good price. Norway Spruce is one tree species. which• has proved itself in use as, a. windbreak. These trees, properly spaced, do an excellent job of breaking the force of winds.; and their long, drooping branches, which reach the ground, hold back the snow from lanes and roads. After serving in this capacity,. these' trees- ara4,bla to contribute further, yielding alu, able lumber whose qualities are desir- able for building uses. It is good, forestry to harvest. for- est grown trees when mature. Similar- ly, the mature trees in a windbreak should be harvested for us before the agents of disease and decay begin their destructive' work. ge' whert LI7... datices her way into Romance 7.•11, FROM M-G-M STARRING < LARRY PARKS ELIZABETH TAYLOR WA.. by RUTH BROOKS FlIPPEN DinKiRd by STANT( DONN No by WILMA H WRIGHT A.
