The shelterbelt. at which many per sona scoffed. Is a "complete success," Earl W. Tinker, assistant chief of the forest service said. Tinker made a tour of the mldwestern area to in spect growth of the trees. The shelterbelt extends from Texas almost to the Canadian border. It ranges from a few hundred yards to several miles wide. In plscea there are several stripe of "belta." Prom 700 to 1,000 trees were planted per acre. The forest service has planted ap proximately 35.000.000 of these trees. About 30,000,000 were distributed to farmers for woodland and shelter land planting. Not all of the plant ing has been done In the great plains. CCO enrollees have planted other millions in many states. Federal and state nurseries have produced an additional 150,000.000 trees for planting.

Tinker said a check of trees plant ed In the western shelterbelt showed 81 per cent had survived under ad verse drouth conditions. Their ef fectiveness will Increase as they grow, he said. "Many thousands of young trees planted during the 1035 season are now 6 feet high and' already irre-j bringing about a lessening olwtnd movement within their proteUe range," Tinker said. "Heights up to 16 feet have been noted In some Instances," he said. '1 saw fields of cantaloupes and water melons growing In what were formerly dust fields, protected by rows of new ly planted treees."

The forest service said farmers who had seeded their land In trees valued It at an average of 81,046 per farm. "Experience gained thus far In shelterbelt and windbreak planting demonstrates the value of this type of work in the great plains region where an urgent necessity exists for an extensive tree planting program," the forest service said.
