DROrGHT PROOF SEEDS WASHINGTON, iUP’—After seven months in the arid regions of Turkey and Rusian Turkistan, H. L. Westover and C. R Enlow, agriculture department plant explorers, have returned to the United States with nearly 1.800 lots of seed believed to be drought resistant. Last sumer’s drought, with its frequent dust storms, emphasized the need for more soil-holding plants, for which these men searched, F. D. Richey, chief of the bureau of plant industry, explained. "Because of the unusually adverse conditions for plant life where this seed was collected,” Riehey said, "we are hopeful that something of real value for our great plans and the southwest will be found in the collection.” j Most of the seed collections repreaent grasses or legumes which form a thick turf close to the ground, enabling them to bin ! the soil and hold it against the ravages of wind and water. Others repiesent shrubs whose root systems loom promising

as soil binders.
