Rainfall and Trees

A report has recently been
published which shows how
closely the growth of trees is
dependent upon rainfall Not
only was this seen in the case
of and 2.year-old trees, but in
an investigation extending over
period of IL years, during
which time the annual rings of
growth we're carefully examlu-
ed. With an annual precipita-
tion of from 80 to 35 inches 4
width of ring was produced
varying from IL to Ia inch. If,
on the other hand, there was
either an unusually large or
small rainfall in any given year
this was followed by CORE.

diminishing. There is scarcely a

OUR RAILROAD OFFICIALS.

Ocala, Fla, Nov. 19, 1906.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
/ have read with some degree of
interest the several articles that ap-
peared in your issue of Sunday against
the management of the Atlantic
Coast Line railway and knowing the
trials and tribulations of the local
and division officials l thought that
would venture a word in their be-
half.
We all have our worries but would
be willing to put up most any sort of
a wager that no class of people on
earth-it matters not what their occu-
pation-that have greater wor-
ries than our railway officials, and if
any poor mortals need word of pity
and compassion they do.
Who believes that Duncan and HUI
Der, Glass and Ford, and the conduc-
tors and engineer crews do not worry
more over the poor service and belated
trains OF the Atlantic Coast Line than
all the patrons of the road all told?
AS l have said before, we all have
our worries. Let's see how these
worries work:
A wants to build house. He en-
ploys an architect to draw the plans
and he gives them to a contractor. He
agrees to have the house completed at
certain time. But when the time
is up the house is incomplete. A is
in stew and lets the contractor
know of his anger. The contractor
shifts the blame on to the mill own
ers who failed to supply the lumber
at the time agreed upon. The mill
owner shifts the blame on to the rail
roads who failed to furnish cars and
there the responsibility stops and
the public seems to think that the
railroads have no right to shift the
blame on to the shoulders of anybody
else and must take all the blame as
is usually the case.
But the railroads have the same
worries and difficulties as other
trades and occupations.
The scarcity and unreliability of Ia
Dor, the scarcity of cars, accidents,
wrecks and hundred and one things
that the general public never take in
to account.
The unexpected and unprecedented
development of the country in every
section of it has made heavier demands
upon the different railway companies
than they are prepared to meet; the
car builders and engine builders have
been overtaxed and are two or three
years behind with orders. Car aquip-
ment cannot be procured in a mo-
ment and the railway orders for equip
ments are much further behind hand
than any builders orders for lumber
or merchants orders for goods.
The railway companies are passing
through a severe ordeal and are far
more worried than their patrons and
in the meanwhile are doing all in
their power to improve their service
and grapple with the new and UMPIRE,
cedented conditions.
They are forced TO crave the indul-
gence and patience of the general
public until the country resumes
something like its normal condition
and the car and engine factories catch
up with their orders.
