Media Contact That dirt which blew off my hand, that wasn't dirt  That was my land, and it was going south into Montana or north up towards Regina, or east or west and it was never coming back. The land just blew away. - Canadian survivor of the 1930's drought From The Great Depression: 1929-1939 In the spring of 1998, when clouds of dust descended on the western United States from Washington to Texas, weather experts were mystified. They could not figure out where all the pollution – extensive enough and heavy enough to settle like a blanket over the countryside – was coming from. Eventually, they concluded it must have originated in China. A three-day dust storm, responsible for wreaking death and destruction in that country's interior, seemed to have been pushed east by tradewinds all the way across the Pacific. This was by no means the first time that soil had taken a trans-oceanic journey. Astronauts circling the Earth in 1994 watched in amazement as plumes of reddish-brown dust arose out of North Africa heading straight for Florida and the Caribbean. Hundreds of kilometres wide and thousands of kilometres long, this dust represented but a small proportion of the billion tonnes of African dust that can blow across the Atlantic yearly.

Links For questions, please e-mail kaysa_gabriel@yahoo.com Page created: 3-25-04 Last Update: 4-23-04 Background Living fences have a few major differences from hedges. They require less maintenance, are planted further apart, and are usually combined with other materials, such as barbed wire. Used all over the world, these structures are greatly beneficial to the people who use them. (Macklin) Types: Though there are two main types of living fences, major distinctions between them will not be made in this article. For reference, live fence posts are widely spaced woody plants in single rows that are pruned regularly and used instead of posts. Barrier hedges are spaced closer together, are thicker, involve multiple species, and usually do not include any other types of fencing material. (Cherry and Fernandes) Typical Living Fence: Usually surrounding barbed wire, these trees and shrubs grew in their location from seeds dropped by birds that had perched on the fence. Also common are farmers deliberately planting seeds of species that easily take root. Traditional living fences can be more durable than wooden posts, as they are less susceptible to termites and fungus. It is important that the species that make up the fence have the ability to form a callus rapidly to cover the attachment site of the wire; trees that produce sap should be avoided, as this can be corrosive to metal. An alternative to barbed wire for those who cannot afford it is to use several different species to create a thorny hedge. (Cherry and Fernandes)
