Moisture, And How to Get it.

What view are our western editors
taking of the proposition to create and
retain moisture by the establishing of
ponds and lakes, at small expense, on
every quarter section, or eighth section
of prairie land? Is not the plan the most
reasonable one ever proposed, and the
easiest to accomplish? Let us hear
the views of our brothers of the press
and all others who take sufficient
interest in the welfare of the entire
western country to give the matter
thought and attention.
Prairie countries are oftener subject
to drouths than timbered countries,
that we all know, and the reasons too
are plain to the most simple mind. By
creating small ponds, at small expense,
on every farm, the grand aggregate of
water that could be caught and stored
would result in as much good as a
diffuser of moisture as though the
water was stored in few great lakes.
The hot winds, as they sweep across
the open country, would be cooled and
dampened by moisture arising from a
myriad of lakes; quick growing trees
planted along the border of such lakes
would break the simoOn's force and
offer a cool shade for man and beast.
Will it not be well to agitate the
question, and see if it does not meet
with favor at the hands of the govern
mont
