Shortage Of Trees Dominates Nebraska Panhandle Air Tour
An air tour over the Nebraska Panhandle reveals vast flat land with few trees around farms. The absence of shelter belts stands out, though many farms are planting windbreaks and improving appearance. Kimball County residents authorized a soil conservation district to act with technical help, as strip cropping and windbreaks grow. The tour was cut short due to Deuel County, with Chappell airport muddy and landings impossible. Calvin Orr of the extension service added broadcast color from the route. Interviewees included W. P. Bullock and Cheyenne County Agent. (Continued on Page 8).
