As compared with ten years ago, less sanding was done during the period of this survey, partly be- cause of economic conditions, part- ly because the bogs did not need sanding so badly as immediately following World War II. Some preliminary research has been done toward eliminating the apparent need for sanding, but without con- crete results as yet.
