TENDING" SAND DUNES.

A party of scientists from the Bureau of Forestry is on a "sand binding ex- petition among the famous dunes of Michigan. Sand binding is the term used in the division of forest extension for the work of holding down the yell low, sitting, drifting stuff which buries the cottages on the east shore of Michi- gan and often invades the farm lands and makes them as barren and waste as the dunes themselves.
 The dune region begins about ten miles south of the southern limits of Chicago and extends up the east coast of Lake Michigan as far as Frankfort. The sand takes an inland course and forms immense arid plains in the south ern Michigan, peninsula. The sand has threatened profitable orchards and farms and played havoc with the sum- mer homes which dot the east shore of the lake. In many instances cottages have been buried to the second story in a single winter by the drifting sands
 Nature is made to do the hard work in the sand binding. The first work in smothering the sand is to plant beach grass-a variety which thrives on un-

promising ground It is a tall, coarse grass with blades so strong that they form fairly effectual windbreak But the chief virture of this variety is in it's remarkable roots The roots extend in almost mathematical order beneath the sand and at intervals of from twelve to eighteen inches send up shoots which grow as rank and strong blades The roots dig down long distance and form network which holds the sand in place. Beach grass roots fifty feet long have been discovered by the foresters. Another advantage of beach grass is that it cannot be killed by the shifting sands. If the storm and winds of winter bury it the lower roots die, but the top lives and pushes itself up through the sand and begins anew it's work of anchoring.
 Alter the beach gSass, shrubs are planted, and after the shrubs come the trees, by which eventually the sand dunes are to be converted into wood lands. The experts have found the wax myrtle the best shrub for sand binding on the Atlantic Coast, and they believe. without having actually stud- jed the matter. that it will flourish in the Western sand dunes and plains. Of the trees the pitch and red pine. tha ailantus, the yellow and honey locuts, and the jack pine have been found to grow on the Atlantic sand fields. 1t is expected that the ailantus and the locust will be the best may be that the lack of salt winds, which are fatal to many of trees, will permit of a much wider range for selection.-Bo Her. ald @
