IA ORR CLIMATE CHANGING

Night before last Carson was
visited by thunderstorm, accom-
panied by a heavy rain. During
the past few weeks rain and thunder
showers have been quite frequent,
and, as this a very unusual antic OF
the weather, may lead one to inquire
if Nevada is not beginning to un-
dergo certain climate changes,
which will prove very beneficial to
this State. Rain in the Summer
has never been a common thing
here, and farmers have been in the
habit of depending solely upon ir-
rigation for success in their bust
ness. This being the case the
profits of agriculture has been con-
siderably reduced and the labor
augmented by ditching and fluming.
IF the climate of the State is to
change from a dry to rainy one,
as it seems to be doing, it will prove
of immese advantage to the agri-
cultural interests and largely in
crease the areaso land capable OF
cultivation, and not now reached
by irrigation bitches. The writer
has noticed these changes from
personal observation in Nebraska.
There was time when Nebraska
farmers had to irrigate or loose
their crops as rain storms were al
most unknown. After the country
was settled up and the trees
planted, they became more frequent,
and no irrigation is done whatever,
as rain-storms come once or twice
month and gentle showers each
week. We have every reason to
believe that Nevada is passing into
this much desirable state, and it
the rainfall increases inside of a
few years irrigating bitches will be
thing Of the past and all the land
in the State can be put under cult
walton.
