IF SNOW NEVER FELL.
The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.

If all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none of it was snow, hundreds of
d tbusands of square miles of the
sarths surface now yielding bountiful
crops would be little better than a
desert. The tremendous economic
gain for the. world at large which re-
suits from the difference between
snow and rain is seldom realized by
the inhabitants Of fertile and we'll
watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where
Arrigation Is a prime necessity in aa
riculture that the special uses of snow
come chiefly into view. All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
mountains and packing itself firmly In
the ravines. Thus in natures great
icehouse a supply Of moisture is stored
up for the following summer.
can through the warm months the
hardened snow banks are melting
gradually In tItckling streams they
steadily feed the rivers which as they
how through the valleys are utilized.
