THE PRODUCTION OF RAINFALL
Experimenting by Sending Explo'
sives to the Clouds.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Especial. The
last agricultural appropriation act contain
cd an appropriation of 81, 1000 to be used
in experiments in the prod of rain
fall. The department is about to EN-
bark in these experiments, having pre-
pared to test practically the theory that
heavy explosions cause rainfall. Last
evening preliminary trial was made and
a balloon sent up in the northern suburbs
exploded with great violence amid the
clouds. Whether the subsequent down
pour of rain later in the evening was caused
by the explosion remains to be determined
and the department will try the expert
ment on a large scale again to tn&
the efficacy of this means of breaking
summer droughts.

The plan is to establish bank in

many conservative people in the begin

acs, promises to turn out nearly $780,
400 bales That is, about 8, 700, 900 will
viii be sold off the planta tions aud come
into sight, while there will probably be
from 10o, 600 to 300, 600 bales which will

looks now as if the yield of this crop,
Gathered between September I, 1890,

$500, 900, and 5000, 900 bales.

been some trouble with the crop in the
Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee, the
balance of the cotton raising States arc
doing very well, and unless some disaster
occurs, we will have another reasonably
large crop.
1t is the fear of another large crop
which is at present depressing prices
more than the burden of the co ton that
has been made during the past year, be-
cause if the world were assured that the
