rye or barley seed to prevent rain from washing away soil on
hillsides burned by the 138 thousand acre blaze.

On flatter terrain, all-terrain vehicles will rake the soil and
plant seeds.

National Forest.

Nor can any of the money be spent on private property. But
officials say logs and sandbags will be placed near homes to divert
water away from them.
