toXTENDING seaward from the Garonne in the triangular area -1-enclosed by that stream and by the waters of Biscay and of the AdourMidouze Rivers lies a vast sandy plain known as the Landes.1 Formerly a desolate waste it is today one of the prosperous regions of France and one of the few sections where the rural population is actually increasing. The story of its transformation is but another chapter in the history of the struggle between man and his age-old rival-the sea. Though not so well known nor so spectacular as the work of the Dutch, the reclamation of the Landes is a most excellent illustration of a nice adjustment of human activities to a most exacting and difficult environment
