Defense in Depth Ag Principle Too Defense in depth is a principle that is often emphasized in such things as military operations and football. But, apparently, it also pays out in such a matter as using trees to combat the effects of vi cious weather. At least that is the principle Walter Ries, living 6 miles east of Atkinson, a cooperator with the Holt Soil Conservation Dis trict, followed when he started his tree planting program. And when the storms of the last two years hit, he was doubly glad that he had followed the prin ciple. Ries started the plantings in 1938, cooperating with the For est Service shelterbelt project. Tree belts were planted in 1938, 1939 and 1940 under this plan. Then, after the soil conser vation district was organized, he made further plantings a part of the farm conservation plan he worked out with the aid of Soil Conservation Serif ice technicians. “Now,” he said, “the wind breaks protecting the farmstead have a width of about 100 yards, and a number of 10-row belts help to protect the fields. The faster growing species in the old er plantings are 20 to 25 feet talk “Believe me, we were glad in both the winter of 1948-’49 and last winter that we had all those trees protecting the farmstead. Even with the unusual amount of snow and the terrific drifting, none of the blown snow got through. The only snow in the farmyai< and lots was what had fallen there.” Furthermore, he added, living was more comfortable because of the protection the trees gave from the winds. Cattle that had been brought to the faAn from the Ries ranch in Cherry county could be cared for without diffi culty during even the worst of the storms. And in summer, he said, the trees are full of birds, but with plenty of nesting space they stay well back in the planting away from the house, thereby avoiding the nuisance of having their nest ing and feeding areas close to the house.
