In sections where heavy windstorms
are likely to occur at harvest time a
timber belt on the windward side Of
the orchard often saves heavy loss
from windfalls as the fruit approaches
maturity. Where the orchard has not
been favorably located with reference
to such timber protection a shelter
belt can be grown In few years.
Quick growing varieties such as the
cottonwood and box elder will answer
the purpose nicely. while the Scotch
or white pine may be set outside the
deciduous varieties to give effective
protection near tho ground. In the
writer's own orchard such windbreak
has meant saving Of hundreds Of
dollars almost every year as a result Of
the protection afforded.

You know that the value of any article

bought for in the open market.
Pianos of low quality are sold without re-

purchaser, gets an inferior instrument much
to his disappointment and loss.
How Is q plano purchaser to be safe and
sure In making a purchase? To the man,
woman, or young person about to purchase
plano we would say: This store points to
the straight safe road. We handle only RE
LIABLE GOODS. On this point there is no
question. Our unlimited guarantee which is
behind every piano we sell, is an absolute
protection for every purchaser. We recon-
mend the MERRILL PIANOS because we
