Conditions are reversed in the Indiana dunes, for here there Is never a long period of drought, and In place of u desert area there Is a natural propagating garden, where a most astonishing number of rare and beautiful plants congregate, having migrated both from the north and soutli to tliis unusually favored locality. Here, on the shores of a great fresh-wate- r sea, whose moisture is constantly being carried southward by the prevailing northwest winds, and tempered both in summer and winter by tts position on the lake, is a region so wonderful that It lias been sot aside by Indiana as a great state park nulling ovr.

Trees, shrubs, and many plants from AT ul one-liat- one-lial- one-liat- t n iredL the Far North grow side by side witii others whose natural habitat Is many miles soutli of the lake, and the plant life Is bewildering to the uninitiated and a Joy to the botanist. The combination of underlying sand and humus, with abundant moisture, makes a condition of soil that Is ideal, and the result Is a luxuriant plant growth that is almost tropical. The dune-floo- r vegetation Is more striking than the arborescent grovvtii, and the wealth of herbaceous plant life Is remarkable. Even on the exposed lake beach and on newly formed sand drifts pioneer plants are constantly springing up. Hardy grasses, sea rockets, artemlsins, sand cherries and many others take advantage of the slightest opportunity, and around these i lants embryo dunes form, which In time grow and join the evereliaiiging and fascinating panorama of dune succession. As soon ns a slight covering of humus accumulates, possession Is taken by the stronger plant growth, and benrberry, juniper, arrow woods and sumacs soon fill up the vacant spaces, preparing the way for the tree growth that is waiting its turn. The black oak is the most conspicuous tree of the older dunes, but It Is accompanied by many others, mostly deciduous, although there are a few evergreens and one oilier conifer the tamarack. Basswood, poplars, tulip, sassafras, juneberry, flowering 'dogwood, white and gray pines and occasionally white oaks are all to be found in the drier parts of the dunes; and in the lower lands sour gum, red maple, swamp whiteonk, pawpaw, cherry and the larger sumacs grow luxuriantly In t he peaty soil. Over all the taller growth ore scattered draperies of vines, softening the rigid outlines and adding their blossoms to the marvelous display. The herbaceous plant life is even more varied and wonderful. Great masses of birds-foo- t and other violets, lupines, phlox of different colors, waxy hells of wintergreen and blueberry, hepatlcas, trailing arbutus not just a few flowers, but acres of them and miles of acres make a natural paradise which cannot be artl ficlally duplicated. Coloring in the Marshes. The marshes have their own Individuality of sedges, oat tails, reeds, and borders of the larger ferns royal, cinnamon, and the Interrupted or clayton. The Virginia chain fern in one of the drier marshes crowds out the less vigorous plant life, coloring with its fertile fronds great stretches of the marsh a beautiful sepia. The blending of browns and greens in the marshes softens the landscape to an exquisite symphony of color in pleasing contrast to the more vivid color-lu- g of the higher land adjoining. It Is in autumn, however, that the dune coloration Is at Its best, for then the entire region becomes a flaring landscape of gorgeous reds and yellows. Nature goes into her winter rest with a lust effort in color that is beyond adequate description. The sour gum, red maple, sumacs, and sassafras discard their modesty and vie with each other in a gorgeous riot of autumn coloring. Many of the trees and lesser shrubs and other plants boar edible fruits, providing a sumptuous larder for hosts oi birds and small animals. The bird life of the region surrounding the end of Lake Michigan Is very abundant, and during migrations nowhere In the United States are there more varieties of both land and shore birds to be seen than here. The ruffed grouse, golden eagle, horned owl and the great blue heron still visit the dunes, and In wintertime the evening grosbeak, crowbills and pine finches are attracted by the wealth of food. Geologically, the dunes and distinctly traceable old shorelines tell the fascinating story of the glacial period antedating Lake Michigan. The nearby universities bring their classes to the dunes as a most necessary object-lesso- n courses. of their natural-scienc- e Historically, also, the dunes have their place in the earlier history of the West. The old Indian trails can still be pointed out, and it. was through the dunes that the pioneer French found their way from Detroit to the site of Chicago at the mouth of the Chicago river. tril-llum- s, to buy the car Corporation, operating' the GMAC Plan.

The methods are an improvement of those employed with the Brown-Duve- l moisture tester used In connection with official grain standards. They may be applied to rice, seeds, flour and meal, and other commodities which contain a large percentage of water. A single moisture determination on grain can be made in 25 or 30 minutes with the improved methods and, with a tester, six tests can be made in approximately the same time as for a single test. One man and a helper, using machines can make 200 or more tests in eight hours.
