DRY WHEAT BELT
Sand Encroaching On Prairies. ‘‘lf we only had this rain!” was the yearning cry of a Canadian visitor, Mr H. Jones, during a recent sojourn with Mr T. R. Anderson, at Mahoe. Mr Jones talked interestingly to his host of the conditions in the dry wheat belt of North America, where thousands of acres of land have been denuded of soil by dry hot winds and converted into a waste of sand. He mentioned that the sand was menacing the Canadian prairies and bad personal experience of the destruction caused. On his place the sand had drifted and engulfed a shelter belt of trees 90 feet high and a halfmile in length. Now a road crosses over the plantation.
