lands in this locality. This bulletin 
divides the damaged lands into: Sand- 
ed lands; eroded lands; eroded lands 
subsequently silted ; and caving river 
banks. Recommendations for treating 
these different classes are given. At 
least 5,000 acres of fertile plowland 
were buried in coarse sand to such a 
depth as to be rendered worthless for 
agriculture for many years to come. In 
order to fix this sand, the Bureau rec- 
ommends that cottonwood trees be 
planted over its entire surface this 
spring. The flood caused millions of 
cottonwoods to germinate on fields that 
were too wet for cultivation. From 
these natural nurseries may be ob- 
tained all the seedlings needed. For 
protecting soft alluvial river banks the 
method given is to make it sloping 
instead of perpendicular, and to 1 keep it 
covered with vegetation. The willow is 
admirably adapted to holding alluvial 
soil in place. It is far more service- 
able for this purpose than walls of 
masonry, and the facility with which it 
reproduces itself by seed, suckers, 
sprouts, and cuttings, both natural and 
artificial, makes its use very simple and 
inexpensive.

Association of Park Superintendents 
discusses the very important subject of 
thinning tree plantations and shrubbery 
borders. It offers many valuable sug-
