Fighting or Hail With Cannon.

The president Of the Hail Cannon so
ciety Of France, Joseph Chatillon, re
ports some very decided achievements
in the way Of defending crops from
hail by firing cannon.
The report deals with the experience
OF twenty-eight cannon firing societies
which used 462 cannon in "a number of
storms. After each storm report was
sent to the president Of the agricultural
society OF the district. 1t was printed
and then distributed for correction to
all the farmers in the district visited by
the storm. During fifteen years before
any cannon were used the losses from
hail amounted to $2.572.316. These
figures were obtained from the public
ofnces in which accounts were kept, as
the poorer grape growers were indemni-
fed from a public fund for losses in

that the entire losses Of the wine grow.
ers were not compensated. and he
thinks that the total damages amount
ed to not less than $3OSS.00O. During
the Ave years In which the cannon have
been In use the losses from hail in the
same department have aggregated
$15e,412. During the year 1904 these
same sixteen communes sustained NO
losses whatever, a fact which Is at
tributed entirely to the use of the can
non. Says Mr.. Chatillon:
We base our confidence in the eflcac,
Of the firing on the fact that the thunder
and lightning ceased, the wind abated, and
the clouds disappeared under the firing o.
the cannon. and . mild fall OF rain and
soft snow succeeded. These facts are I'M
deniabls.
The report reviews the results Of the
firing In twenty eight storms during
the months Of April, May. June, Jul!
and September. The results are gener

The corn crop of the United States
last year was 2,5OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
What does this statement mean? It
means l40,OOO.OOO,O0O pounds or
100000 tons; or 2,333,333 carloads
of 80 tons each, which htched together,
would cover distance of 70,OOO,OO0
feet or l3,257 miles; more than half
way round the globe, or four times the
distance from New York to San Francis
co. These cars placed on tracks side by
side and close together would cover 12,-
$50 acres. This corn if spread evenly to
the depth of one foot would cover 70 900
acres or over IL square miles. Quite
little pile of corn surely. 1t is one of
the many pictures of the greatness of
our country.

No one who knows them thinks for a
moment that sheriff Peck and his dep,.
ties are not high minded citizens and
faithful officers of the law. That they
shrunk from the duty imposed is not
unnatural, and they should not be criti-
cised for their action. AT the same time
Gov. Bell should not be criticised for
his rather abrupt suggestion that they
could resign if they wanted to; he may
have thought their coming with such a
petition as they did looked little like
coercion. The matter is closed for the
present and the masses are thankful it
is no worse.
