most satisfactory growth. Inc locust
in particular did exceedingly well, be-
ing a legume which secures Its nitro
gen from the air through the minis
tration of the bacteria on Its roots.
Moreover, a loose, sandy soil permits
both air and water to enter, instead
of the rain running off as In the case
where a tough sod covers the ground,
thus making ideal conditions for the
development of the bacteria.
Having discovered the right kind or
tree, Mr.. Abbott entered into the work
OF planting them with enthusiasm. For
deciduous trees he soon discovered
that a yearling plant was preferable
to an older one, being easier to plant,
costing less, and standing a better
chance to live. Year-old deciduous
reliable nurserymen for 50 or less per
thousand, while the cost Of planting
them is relatively small as two men
can easily plant 5000 trees a day.
The result OF the first planting was
apparent in a little over a year, as
four feet high and in fiourlshing con-
dition, successfully checked the sand
| blowing. In a couple of seasons more
the leaves falling to the ground
formed a forest mulch, which helped
retain the moisture, and grass began
to creep in, eventually giving to the
land Il value for grazing which 1t did
not possess before.
Altogether Mr. Abbott has planted
some $4,000 trees on approximately so
acres Of land, or at the rate of 1000
trees per acre, the spacing being about
9 by feet. These trees have
not only increased the value of
the land on which they stand about
four-fold, but have proved most eff
fective barriers in protecting cult
waited fields from the few remaining
blowholes. The heat In these blow
holes during the summer sometimes
reaches 80 degrees. 1t is rather re-
markable, however, that even at such
time. moisture may be found in the
sand at depth of few inches.
An idea of the rapidity with which
the sand drifted before Mr.. Abbott
began his tree planting may be gained
from the accompanying photographs,
which show the original fence posts
surrounding some Of the fields now
| almost covered. Mr.. Abbott is now,
after period of five or six years, cut
| ting considerable timber from his for
est plantations.

ing that for score Of years he has
represented his district in the state
legislature. AS president of the Illi-
nOis Farmers institute and director OF
one Of the states demonstration farms,
Mr.. Abbott has done a notable work.
In the midst of this. work he has found
time to cultivate hobby, which is, not
to see how many bushels Of corn or
oats or wheat he can produce on
given amount of land, but to make
something grow where absolutely moth
ing grew before. The 60 or 70 acres
Of sand hills on his farm which he has
reclaimed in few years, clothing them
with a luXuriant forest of locust, cot
tonwOod and walnut trees, speaks elo-
quently of the practicability as we'll

than that, these trees, acting as sand
BINDERS have increased many fold the
value of the rest Of his land, for they
protect his growing crops on the rich
soil from the inroads Of the shifting
sand.
The presence of the sand hills on
Mr.. Abbott's farm makes an interest
ing little story. The land lies three
or four miles east Of the Mississippi
river in western Illinois, on the edge
of what is known as the River bot
toms. When in geological ages the
channel of the Mississippi was
changed, the sand in the river bed
was blown upon the bluffs on the east
side of the channel. In the course
of time the growth of vegetation In
the old bed, aided by the silt depos-
tied by flood waters, made the river
bottoms exceedingly fertile farm lands.
Eventually, too, the sand blown up on
