"In patient, silent ranks they stand, a wall Of purple shadow 'gainst the sky*s dull gray, Not dead, but only dreaming of the day That once again shall voice the sweet spring's ; There used to be almost as many diflferences of opinion as to the advantages and disadvan- tages of windbreaks as there were different orchardists. Much emphasis has been placed upon the subject, and large expenditures of money have been made to grow windbreaks. But of late years the orchardists do not con- sider windbreaks of as great importance as many other things which are to be considered in the location of orchards. In level sections where there are almost con- stant sweeping winds they might be a means of protection, both to the trees while growing and to the fruit, thus lessening the windfalls. 65.
