WASHINGTON—Marked progress
has been made In the fight to stop
the formation and shifting of sand
dunes on the national forest of the
Pacific northwest, according to the
report of District Forester George H.
Cecil, of Portland, covering the sum
mer season, Just received by the Uni
ted States forest service.
In the Sluslaw forest, especially, the
work of reclamation and efforts to
prevent further damage has been car
ried on vigorously. Under Mr. Cecil’s
direction, T. T. Mungcr has Induced
certain grasses to grow on the sand
stretches and dunes, and has followed
with the successful planting of mar!
time pipe after the grass has take:,
firm hold.
The forest service Is following the
lead of France in its campaign against
sand dunes. Frnnce has reclaimed
]
hundreds of thousands of acres on her
northern shores by sowing grass seed,
cutlivating a sod that would hold !
rnr lsture near the surface of the sand ,
tracts, and then planting 3and and '
maritime pine. The lands thus re
cab med is now worth hundreds of
dollars per acre farming and grazing
land, even after maritime pine had
been cut that more than repaid for
the reclamation work and cost.

ing of the necessary shipping docu
ments and strict compliance with for
eign customers’ billing directions is a
matter which should be carefully con
sidered by American firms that export
goods to Nicaragua, Consul Oamon,
at Corlnto, has reported to the De
partment of Commerce.
Recently a San Francisco firm ship
ped 600 sacks of rice to Nicaragua,
consigned to order. The shipping doc
uments, through an error in mailing
were not received untiil seven weeks
after the arrival of the rice. Mean
while, the report states, the market
had dropped 60 cents a sack, and stor
age and handling expenses had accused
to the amount of $248 because the
Nicaraguan customs rules do not per
mit importations of goods Bhipped "to
older" unless the proper transfer of
ownership papers are in hand. The
consignee refused the shipment be
cause of the storage charges, and the
American exporters were forced to re
