In Indiana windstorms have occurred in parts of the state that never experienced such things until the last few years and the planting of trees is being advocated by the authorities in all state departments, aqd the last legislature of the state passed an act making Arbor Day, to be observed in the planting of trees. Now why not plant trees that will bear fruit, or something good to eat. A good orchard will not only make a good windbreak, but will be profitable to owners as well. '
