EXPERIMENTS RECOMMEND
ED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 9.-Dr.
George Veasey, the botanist of the agri-
cultural department, who has recently
spent several weeks in the ''arid regions
In report to the commissioner of agrI-
culture, expresses his belief that large
portion Of the area so designated may be
vastly more productive by the cultivation
of some prolific species Of grass and for
age plants than the gramma and buffalo
grasses upon which cattle now subsist.
1t is, however, he says, a matter to be de-
termined by experiment, and to this end
he recommends the utilization of the
Fort Wallace, n. NJ, reservation as an
experimental station associated Press
Report.
The botanist of the national agricultu-
raj department is on tie right track. It
may seem to practical farmers, who have
but little to do with theories, that we get
down to too fine point when we assert
that every additional stalk of tall grass
and every weed which find place in the
butfalO-grass sod assist in opening up
these plains for successful agriculture
At the same time, we assert truth
which to the practical student of nature
is as plain as is the fact that the earth is
composed of an infnity of atoms.
1t should not be difficult for any one to
see, who feels that he is acquainted with
the arid portions of the West, that the
crying agricultural need herein is soil
of a texture sufficiently loose to absorb
every drop of water which falls upon it.
Does the buffalo-grass sod do this? Does
it not reject three-fourths of the yearly
rainfall? And is it not asking too much
of any region to demand that it be suit
able for agriculture with an absorbed an
nual rainfall of only four or five inches?
Is it not easy to see why we are highly
favored in any crop season when the pre-.
cipitations of rain happen to be of suffi-
cient frequency to produce good crops?
Does it require any great stretch of the
imagination to place western Kansas and
eastern Colorado at the head of agricul-
tural communities when the wild nature
of the soil shall have been conquered, so
that their stores of spring rainfall can
last far into the summer?
All other experiments in preparing this
region for the retention of the rainfall
should be accompanied by the growing
of timber. With stately groves dotting
the face of the country, the shade and
the suppression of the winds would re-
dnce the present rate of evaporation at
least one-half. The taller grasses ex-
ercise by-no-means-small influence in
suppressing evaporation.
The vital points, it will be noted, in
the securing of more favorable agricul-
tural conditions in the arid regions are:
First-the immediate retention of the
rainfall; second-the prevention of the
waste OF this retained rainfall by undue
nyanoration
