A. we cannot secure any change Of the
barriers that now prevent the air over
these lands from having a Proper supply
OF humidity In the air Itself. how shall
We supply the air from the earth's sur
face
The answer We give Is. only by lncreas-
lng water on the earth's surface. Hut
how can this water and moisture be Sc
cured and held? How made practical?
by preserving The native grasses from
nre-by growing timber wherever II can
he grown. by making reservoirs, low dams
and ponds to aid artesian and irr!gating
water, to supply the ar with vapor.
Man by the use of the AK has denuded
the forest with their dense foliage, and
as the light and the sun has been let Ia
the land has become more dry and pro-
Guctive. He has used the pillow, the spade,
IN. ditchinE machine and the tiles 10
drain the land ana the ponds, I'll some OF
the lands thus drained Is becoming semi

Indications OF nature. VIII make ARID lands

Dew n the moisture OF the air condensed

In. as statcd. deficient In humidity there
Is but one way left to supply that de-
