A very successful farmer told us re-
Gently that on his prairie farm he can
raise more and better crops by plant
Ing a willow hedge around each 40
acres than he can without such wind
breaks. and this taking into considpra.
ton the fact that such trees SAP the
soil for width of 80 feet along the
line OF each row. He claims that with
such wind breaks the snow lies on his
fields and protects his clover. that his
crops Of small grains are not knocked
down by summer storms, that the force
Of the southwestern simoons which
blight the crops when in bloom is neu-
tralized, that such an area of wind
breaks furnishes him all the firewood
needed on his farm and that his farm
is thereby made more pleasant and
productive in every way. This is well
worth thinking about.

any corn land is the sunhower. II has
recently been demonstrated that the
very finest Of salad oil can be extracted
from the seeds, equal in quality to the
best olive oil. This discovery will give
a value to this plant before unknown.
