The DESERT BLossoMs An old trappsr.
who crossed the Western plains thirty.ivs
years ago, says there was no grass at all.
but only few sage bushes and cac.i. Now
there is thin soil formed over the sand and
gravel, and grass covers the entire surface.
And 1t appears that this enriching process
goes on faster and faster every year. This
is why so many people have been ast onished
at not finding any Great American Desert
and conclude that it was only a myth. The
truth is, that it did exist. but. like many of
those things in this chaugsful America, it
has passed away.
