Another Wet Year.

Since this promises to be the fourth
in series of wet years, it, will not
be surprising if numerous persons
come forward with assertions to the
effect that the climate has changed
and that there is more rain now than
there was few years ago.
The theory of changing climates
is fascinating one to men who deal
in dry lands, whether as sellers or as
buyers, but none the less it is en-
tirely without merit. There is no
evidence that any climate in any
part of the world has undergone a
notable change within historic times.
The valleys of western Asia where
Ninevah and Babylon were en-
throned in all the glory of their
wealth and power were as dry and
arid in those days of ancient domin-
ion as they are now.
The climate of Colorado has un
dergone no change, and If men
would farm with success on the
plains without irrigation they must
employ the Campbell system or
some other method by which the
climatic obstacles may be overcome.
That farming without irrigation may
be made profitable we are confident;
but this involves different Kind of
farming from that followed in the
humid regions of the Atlantic coast
or the Mississippi valley.
New settlers should be told this
plainly, SO that they may make no
mistakes. They should not con-
clude that they know more about the
climate than people who have lived
here for a quarter of century or
more; and they should adapt their
agriculture to the climatic conditions,
if they would succeed.-Ex.
