Landscape helps quiet streets with trees and mounds

The Agriculture Department reports studies from the University of Nebraska under a U.S. Forest Service grant show planting trees and shrubs along with hills and barriers can cut traffic noise in half. The research, led by Prof. David Cook and Dr. David Van Haverbeke, notes noise filtration improves as greenery grows, with artificial landforms offering quicker results. The 1972 Yearbook of Agriculture, Landscape for Living, outlines practical home gardening and environmental improvement ideas. World wheat and flour imports by five West African nations rise as consumption shifts toward money economy, with Senegal, Guiana, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, and Liberia importing 111.1 million dollars in 1971. Wheat imports increase faster than rice. U.S. share remains small but growth potential exists.
