in reality we have not been sleeping,

it as correspol ding change in work
and the farmers, who a few weeks

their cotton are now planting grain
and "diggin' taters."

COPPER QUEEN OBSERVATIONS
 OF TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS

confirm my anticipaticns They show that the variations in that neighbor- hood are less extreme tnd violent. The change is due probably to several causes: the cultivation of more land, the heat thrown into the atmosphere by the two metallurgical works. as well as the smoke, which prevents rapid radiation.

 Dear Sir:-I hand you herewith sta tistics in regard to maximum and minimum2 temperatures for each month during the past year. 1908. These are made up on the same lines as the statistics given in Doctor Douglas pamphlet In the column marked variation we have given the variation between the average maxi mum and minimum of each month. You will note that the teperature has never gone as low here as shown in the records at the ranch. I think there is a material differ. ence in the figures obtained by Dc Wright at the Calumet hospital and ] those obtained down here. The ex. posture of the instruments would have something to do with this. It is my opinion. though am not in position to substantiate it by actual figures that the average temperature at the Reduction Works office is lower than shown by Doctor Wright.

 In the spring of this year the Daily International received a communica- tion from Farmer" with reference to the statement quoted below. and ask ing if we had any records bearing out the statement, adding that 1t was a matter of vital importance to farmers in this valley.
 The statement to which Farmer referred was taken from the Mining and Scientific Press for May IS, 1909, as follows:
 At Douglas, Arizona, smelling has altered conditions so as to favor agr.- culture. Before the shelter started the average diurnal variation in tenn perature was from a maximum Of 92e degrees to a minimum of 2S.4 de- gres. a change from night to day of GAP degrees, Fahrenheit. Only few plants could offer a resistance to such climatic severity. Since the smelter started pail of smoke has spread over the valley, serving as a reflector. retaining the heat absorbed by the earth during the day and reducing the range of variation to less than 90 de- grees Fahrenheit"
