Farm Shelter
The value of adequate shelter on the ‘farm was emphasised by Mr T. E. Rodda, manager of the Ruakura Farm, when speaking to students at the farm school recently. In the planting of shelter belts, said Mr Rodda, care had to be taken to ensure that there would be plenty of bottom growth, because it was little use having a belt of trees thick at the top but absolutely bare at the bottom. In such a case the , wind would whistle through the tree trunks and the thick foliage on the top would be practically useless from the point of view of shelter.
