Good Windbreak, Well Cared
For and Properly Irrigated, Is
Great Asset in Imperial Valley

and melon crops are torn and blown
off by severe winds where no wind
breaks are used. CautaIoupe grow
crs complain Of these winds bitterly
every year when the paper caps or
the crown set Of 1ruIt are blown
off.
Furthermore men working in the
fields can 90 much more and better
work when protected by good
Wiudorcall than when they are eX-
posed to the fierce, cold winds from
the west or north.
Another important benefit of
WiHdbreaks is that the evaporation
OF moisture from the leaves Of the
plants and from the soil is con
sidcrably reduced where the yeloc
i,v of the winds are cut down.
Trees for Windbreak Purposes
Eucalyptus, cottonWoods and tam
ari~k or athcl trees are the most
common trees used in Imperial Val
ley for WindbrcakS. Athel trees are
preferred to the other two for sew
vM reasons. Athcl trees are less
expensive 70 start because they can
he cas,ly grown from cuttings which
can bc secured from some nCighbOr
or purchased for $40 or ST. per thou
sand. Athcl trees send out branches
close to the ground SO as TO afford
adequate protection for crops close
to tho ground. Furthermore the
athcl trees arc more rapid growing
than the other two, growing 10 to
- feet under favorable circum-
stances the first year. However,
these trees do not grow as high rs
co.tonWoods or eucalyptus and for
That reason some growers are in
tcrplanting eucalyptus and aJhcl
trees. OF the various kinds Of
eucalyptus the brcadIcavcd agray
gum lcucalyptus tcreticornis linear
is) is The best.
Ia planting athel cuttings deep
furoV should be ploWcd or va out,
Water should then be run down this
turroW the HLel cuttings set i'm so
that not moro than two inches of
the small end is left above the sur
face of the ground. Cuttings should
bc set every four fet, and later thin
nod to eight feet apart. 1t is very
important to plan right at tho out
set to give the Windbrcak trees reg
uIar aud frequent Watcrings. There
fore % ditch should be made along
side The Wmdbrcah row.
1t viii pay to fertiiIc wind
break, either with baIuyard manure
or commercial fertilizers. If they
don't get this extra feed and cX-
trJ water they will send their roots
out into the cultivated crop to the
dctrimcut of that crpr.
One Of the most important itcms
in the care of Il Windbreak is reg
ular scmi-mnua pruning of the
roots - to 20 feet from the trecS.
This can be done with p ,ubsoilcr
behind u tractor. \ special knife
is sometimes attached to the front
of the subsoil blade.

the labor laws is found than for
