Central Asia Plant Found That
Normally Lives Through
Long Drouths
Washington -- Two scientists who
have spent months on one of the
strangest missions in history have re-
turned to Washington. They have
been looking for something literally
to "anchor down" the United States.
Large areas of the United States are
badly in need of being "anchored
down." The erosion of wind and wat-
er, aided and abetted by close grazing
and cultivation, has been blowing to~
of valuable farm soil into the air and
carrying it away and washing other
tons down into the Gulf of Mexico.
The scientists hope they've found a
way to stop it.
In the r~mote fastnesses of Central
Asia, on the arid plains of Russian
Turkestan and the Turkish repub~
they found what they believe
will
p ove to be uch-n d.
These Consist of many ~q~-'~e~oz
grasses and other plants that will
the soil and sturdily resist the em-
croaebments of both wind and water.
Many of the plants thrive under con-
ditions far more adverse than found
in most sections of this country.
Brought Back I,S0@ Lots
The two men, H. L. Westover and C.
R. Enlow; collected and brought back
1,800 different lots of seed of plants,
all of which are potential "soil an-
thurS."
One of them is a desert grass so full
of determination that when it is up-
rooted by strong winds and blown
across the sand it does not die, but
"grab~ hold" of the soil wherever it
lands and starts growing again on the
nt~w:Iocatlon. Its home is in the Kara
Kum De~rt.
The plant explorers travelled by
camel, hor~baek and motor car in the
~ou~e of ti~eir explorations, and re-
ceived valuaole help from officials and
plant experts of both the Soviet and
Turkish governments. They were the
first Americans to visit the viUage

Among the pUmts with ~t~
as soil an~s is a perennkl ~e
grow in regiolas where there is prac-
tically no rain except in the winter, a
summer-long drought such as occurred
in America this year being the normal
state of affairs. Most of the grasses
and other plants are of the type that
form a thick turf close to the ground,
or have roots that bind the soil.
Scientists point out that the settle-
ment of the American West with its
intensive grazing so changed the en-
vironment in that region that many of
the best native American soft-binding
grasses are practically gone.
