reduces its power of evapora-
ton to One.sixth. In other
words, il the average velocity
of the wind at the surface of the
ground for one year should be
found to be Is miles per hour
and the evaporation for the
same period should be found to
be - inches, a reduction Of the
velocity OF the wind at the
same place to dead calm would
result in the reduction Of the
evaporation to II inches.
The importance of forest belts
for wind breaks in an arid or
semi.arid country can scarcely
be overestimated. The great
question which concerns the
welfare of Texas farmers is the
conservation of the natural rain.
fall of the region. The records
of the Weather Bureau for the
past ten years show an average
annual rainfall of 2l.5o inches
at Amarillo. Large areas in
Russia famous for the produc.
ton of wheat have less than Is
inches annual rainfall, and the
celebrated Red River Valley of
the North receives only about
20 inches. Western Texas re-
ceives sufficient raipfa II for the
growth of ordinary agricultural
crops if all of it could be utiliz'
ed. The planting of trees will
be one of the influences that will
very materially assist in the
much needed conservation of
the moisture.
From the information derived
by an agent ofthe Bureau of For
estry it is safe to say that there
is quite list of forest trees
that may be grown successfully

Before giving specific advice
to prospective tree planters, the
Bureau of Forestry sends an
agent to the farm of each appli'
cant. 1t is the duty of this
agent to make d thorough ex'
animation of the soil and situa-
ton and prepare a "planting

farmer. The preliminary exam
