The article describes the different methods of afforestation of inland sands followed in various countries. Although the climatic conditions of Western Rajasthan, 70 per cent of which is the 'desert', are acute, afforestation is not an impossibility, due to availability of moisture and nutrition in the dunes. Processes of initial binding of shifting sands are explained, as also different methods and species used for immobilization and afforestation of sand-dunes in different ranges of annual precipitation. The success attained during the past four years of experimentation indicates that afforestation of dune areas is both practical and of economic importance.- Electric Fencing

An electric fencing was tried at Jodhpur, Rajasthan, by the Desert Afforestation and Soil Conservation Station and was found to be considerably cheaper and effective as compared to other types of fencing. The article describes the equipment required, its erection and details of subsequent maintenance, etc. Comparative costs of different kinds of fencing and their advantages and disadvantages have also been described.- The Green Walls of Protection

The Principles of 'Shelter-belts' and 'Wind-breaks' and their various advantages are explained. Wind erosion can be checked by belts. Different types of 'belts', and also their orientation, form, width, density and length are discussed. Regarding their 'sheltering effect' a brief note is given of findings in other countries. The great shelter-belt projects of America, Russia and China are also explained. The article concludes with remarks that the overall increase in yield offsets the losses due to ischolar_main competition ("sapping effects") and shade of the 'belts'. Species suitable for 'belts' and 'wind-breaks' are also mentioned.- Ecological Distribution of Natural Fodder Grasses in Western Rajasthan

Climate primarily controls the vegetation of a region. It is the semi-arid to arid climate of the Western Rajasthan which is responsible for providing congenial environment for the growth of some good fodder grasses. The distribution of some of the characteristic natural fodder grasses of this tract is basically controlled by effective precipitation, topography and soil conditions. Based upon these factors, the Western Rajasthan can be divided into three eco-systems and one sub-eco-system. (i) Rugged hilly projections. (i)a Folds of hillocks and stabilised sand dunes. (ii) Sandy plains with dunes and shifting sands, and (iii) Alkaline and Saline soils. Each of these systems is governed by the biotic, climatic, edaphic and physiographic factors. The severity of these factors is variously reflected in the formation of differential vegetation types, particularly the grassland communities. These eco-systems mainly should have the following species for optimum production from grasslands. Eco-system.(i) Sehima nervosum, Eremopogon foveolatus, Heteropogon contortus. Eco-system (i)a Dichanthium annulatum. Eco-system (ii) Elyonurus hirsutus, Cenchrus ciliaris, Cenchrus setigerus, Cenchrus prieuri. Eco-system (iii) Cenchrus ciliaris, Cenchrus setigerus, Cenchrus prieuri and Sporobolus arabicus. Each eco-system supports a characteristic assemblage of grasses which not only conserve the habitat characters as related to soil, but also produce the maximum possible fodder as determined by soil-climate complex. Thus the areas under each eco-system should be so managed that proper environments necessary for each assemblage of grass species to establish and improve are maintained. This can be done by adopting suitable grazing practices, soil working and other engineering devices for soil and moisture conservation, water spreading and agronomic practices.- "Tanka" for Human and Live-stock Consumption
