TEN COMMANDMENTS
wINpsREAKERs

Washington. July 1S.-The forest
service has devised a decaiogue for
the use Of farmers In the plains re-
gions. These ten commandments are
to be displayed as part OF exhibit
which the forest service Is preparing
for an exposition to be held during
October at Tulsa, Oklahoma, in con.
nection with the eigth international
dry farming congress. The command
ments for owners Of windbreaks are
as follows
1. Place the windbreak at right an
gles to the direction OF injurious pre-.
vailing winds. A..
2. Devote from one.eighth to one
fifth of the farm to timber. Its pro
tect!ve value more than pays for the
ground it occupies. to ssy nothing CT
the timber yield.
3. Plant only species suited to wine
break use to the region and to the To-
cality.
A.. Plant rapid growers for quick re-
suits; but under-plant with slower
growing species, which are usually
'onger lived and more valuable.
3. Supplement deciduous wind
break with evergreens to afford pro-
lection in winter. .,
6. Separate trees by the spacing
proper to the species used. The trees
should be close enough to produce the
windbreak and to yield good poles,
but should not be So crowded as to
produce spindling growth.
Z. Make the windbreak thick from
the bottom up, especially on the side
toward the wind. This may be done
by using species which branch near
the ground, by planting outside rows
of low-growing trees, by encouraging
natural reproduction and by under
| planting.
s. Cultivate the plantation thorough
ly while it Is young.
8. Do not allow excessive grazing
where reproduction is desired.
10. Do not thin your woodlot too
heavily or take out the best trees for
minor uses. Remember that timber
tract should be improved by use and
that each clearing should leave 1t in
better condition than before.
Other exhibits will show the proper
locations for wind breaks, suitable
species for planting and direction
of harmful prevailing winds in vari
Gus, regions.
