Rugged Provlng Grouni We welk back to the jeep and drive on down the road. Ed men- tions casually that only a year ago nobody coulal drive through this terrltory since, in most cases, there were ne roads there. He mappeal out most of the roada there are now and, with the aid of a bulldozer, had them graed s0 they were passable, if flot com- fortable. Coming around a benal, Ed pulls up and points at a stretch of landl which eppears to have been dynarniteal wholesale. "There is a good example of the present worth of tis land," he sys. "During the war the General Motors Company were looking for some lanal thet was reugh enough te nieke a suitably gruel- ing test-track for their tanks anal trucks. This la the area they chose -it was absolutely worthless as terni land andl perfect for their purposes, aince It tore the dickens out of the vehicles they were test- ing and breught out any weak- nMsses which were in them. To show how effective the tests were, GM products were rated - mong the highFst for performance In action overseas-this ground was rougher than anything they came across over there." We carry on down the slopes of the watershed, stopping occas- ionally to look at the stream we first saw as a damp spot on a patch of sand. Each time we sec it, it ia deeper anal wider and still fer from the main river. If it is like this at the endl of a hard, dry summer, you cen well imagine what it might be like when tons of snow have melted in the spring. The resultant water runs repidly into the stream because there isn't enything to holal it beck and heavy floods result. Reforestation Essentlally We are now nearly back te Ed's place. "Well, you've seen what we have done and what we're trying te cure. A lot of people think that trees are only for shade, fruit or lumber and cen't see the point in plenting them in large quantities on apperently barren land. Others have made up their mids that if the good Lord wanted trees to grow up there He would plant thern there Himself. I think it's teirly obviotxs, though, that if we want te save our fanms, the back- bone of the country, we've got to stop the water and wind from tearing away the top-soil-and even the sub-soil in some cases. Se we're going to plant trees everywhere they are needeal andl in such quantities as they are needed. until these forces are feirly well under control. The Authonlty lu enly allowed a limit- ed amount et money te spend each year te ibuy landl and labor lu bard to get for this work, s0 we aren't able to proceedal ny too quickly. But, we'il keep on work- ing et it until we have enough trees te keep the situation under control. People 50, 100 or nisybe even 200 yeers froin now are go- ing te thank us for what we've done, because their ferms will have good soul and a steady sup- ply ot slow-runnlng water. That's what we're *-orking for and that's whet we intend te accomplish.
