WINDBREAK IN AN ORCHARD
One Great Drawback la That Unless
Watched Closely Breeding Place
ls Afforded Insects.
CBy L. Army. corneil University,

CBy L. Army, Cornell University
The important point is to place the
tree in such a place that it will have
the advantage of high altitude, which
means good air drainage, but at the
same time that it will not be exposed
to high winds. which means quick
evaporation. The best means Of &C.
complishing this is to provide the
orchard with windbreak.
Windbreaks should be planted with
care and judgment, since they often
become hindrance instead Of helm
in places where they are wrongly
planted. The one great drawback to
them is the fact that unless watched
very closely they may become a breed
ing place for dangerous insects; but
If care is exercised in this direction
the good effects Of them will over
balance this point. That is, If the
orchard is regularly and intelligently
sprayed, the insect problem is not an
economically serious one.
Windbreaks should contain both
evergreen ani deciduous trees. The
object is not to stop the wind, since
that would be almost as harmful as
having too much, but it is simply to
check it SO that the force will be
broken by the time 1t reaches the
trees. To this end the. eVergreens will
check the wind during the winter and
the deciduous ones will help during
the summer Aside from this point,
the break made from the mixed types
Of tree will be more eficient than the
one composed Of all evergreens, al
though the latter will check the winds
both during winter and summer.
The spruces are probably the most
common evergreen trees that are used
for this purpose. because they are COM
paratively quick growers and make a
good growth on a wide range Of soils.
Among the deciduous trees the naples
and the birches lead. and both do we'll
under varying conditions The trees
are planted closer at first than they
are wanted, so that an immediate ef-
feet can be gotten, and as soon as they
begin to grow or so make the break
too dense, enough are taken out so
that the break win not be barrier.
When properly placed. the wind.
break can be one Of the greatest Gs-
sets the fruit grower can have. This
fact is just being realized, and has
been brought to light by the large
amount OF injury incident 20 exposed
and unprotected orchard sites.

GOOD DUCK TO RAISE

The black Cayuea b distinctly an
American duck, having been bred SO
long in this country that all trace of
its origin is lost. It is said that it
was first found in the central part of
New York, ON Cayuga lake. BY some

from the wild black duck. For many
years the Cayuga has been raised in
this. country and has been considered
by those who have bred il to be a
profitable duck to keep.
BY some raisers It Is thought to be
asgood as the Pekin for early markets
and the claim is made that it can
be grown as caeaQly. The farmer
