...hundred ribbons of forest, each 150 ft. wide, each 1,200 miles long, each one mile from a parallel strip-stretching from North Dakota to Texas-such was the "shelter belt" that Franklin Roosevelt proposed two years ago to protect the dry edge of the prairies from dust and wind. Estimated cost of the project was $75,000,000. Relief funds were allotted, 20 nurseries leased to grow seedling trees, destitute farmers employed to plant them out.
