Windbreaks on the Prairies

1943  / 0 hr 21 min

This short film serves as a cautionary tale to farmers who recklessly cut down trees on their land.

The Dominion Department of Agriculture's experimental station at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, cultivated acres of young trees for distribution to farmers.
