the branch were $6,060,609 and

recommendations from the staff
and opinions from sportsmen,

moved or planted in this city. The
program included everything
fromm foot-high shrubs to 40-foot
trees. Today, more than 40 mile
of streets throughout the city of
over 27,U(J0 persons are lined with
trees,
The fight to stop the wind and
provide shade for the residents
soon developed into a two-fold
struggle. The other effort was
the planting of shelter belts
around the city to lift the main
force of the prevailing winds.
The first shelter, belt was plant
ed along the west side of the
town, and consisted of five rows
of trees. An overcrown wind
uieaK, me nve-row belts were
made up of shrubs on the wind
ward side, with progressively
taller trees in each of the four
other rows
This forced the wind over the
shelter belts and the street and
lawn trees held it there until the
wind was safely over the city.
Tests have shown that the effect
has been a reduction in wind ve
locity of several miles per hour
throughout the sheltered city
unce the wind and sand had
been controlled, the new families
planted, watered, fertilized and
trimmed their lawns with the
care given a child plucked away
irom the burning desert wastes
loday the transformation has
been completed. Richland has
been turned into a veritablp
'oasis" nearly as miraculous as
the product its citizens have Dro
duced in the nereby Hanford ato
