Reclaiming Eroded Land. 



The upper picture shows the growth made by sweet clover that was sown broadcast on land 

 after it had reached the condition shown in the lower picture in Plate I. The lower picture 

 shows how erosion has been checked and the washes filled in after locust sprouts had been 

 growing in the ravines of the washes for three years.
