Where It Rains Every Day.

Where 1t Rains Every Day.
There is a group of islands to the
south of New Zealand called THE Sis
ters,' which are said to be subjected
to a practically constant rainfall The
same may be said of the islands and
mainland of TERRA del Fuego. save fol
the difference that the rain often takes
the form of sleet and snow. On a lint
running round the world from four t
eight or nine degrees there are patche
over which rain seldom ceases to fall
This is called the zone of constan,
precipitation" but at the same timt
there are several localities along witt
1t with very little rainfall.

That Business is Good Building is Active

The present activity in this
section Of the country is of a
very hopeful kind. 1t is based
on substantial lines and every
industry is developing in heal
thy way. Many buildings that
are completed show the general
trend Of events and those that
are in process of building, both
residential and business, will
compare favorabIy with towns of
much larger size. In farming
circles there seems to be a tend
ency to diversiication and the
country is hopeful of good re-
suits. The railroad situation is
very gratifying and there is a
corps Of surveyors on the banks
Of the canyon at this time who
are feeling their way into the
town along lines Of least resist
ance.
There is a general feeling
among the people that this sec
.ion has arrived. The expert

and the future will reflect the
glory Of ceaseless labor on the

impart the greatness of this sec

have come this way looking for
a new field of endeavor.
There will be written on the

IT, A number of new members
were reported since last meet
ing. The matter Of a new church
building was discussed. but no
definite conclusion was reached
as To what steps would be taken
al present, The present building
is inadequate for the present
needs and there will be some
change brought about to get more
room soon.

early rains rs It will ripen Just as
quickly and yield as much as il
It had not been grazod. Gener-
ally the fourth or last crop is so
late it is caught by the frost and
the weather being cool IN the
fall il is difficult 10 cure the hay
sufficient to put in the stacks.
and it is my opinion that more
benefit could be derived from
grazing the last crop.
CROP NATURES IN SIN WEEKS
In harvesting alfalfa in this
country the same rule applies as
in other countries with a few eX-
ceptions. The crop generally
natures within about six weeks
that of course depends upon the
weather, and it is general con-
ceded that it should be cut when
well in bloom, but there is still
another sign even though the
plant may or may not be in
bloom, and that is when the
leaves at the base of the stem
begin TO turn yellow.
The mower, if started in the
morning, should be followed by
the rake in the afternoon, and
the stacker should be running
with a full force the following
morning. Here in the Panhandle
there should be no tear a put
ting the hay into the stack too
green.

FANORS A NURSE CROP
Some people who have studied
this plant as closely or even more
so than ! have done. contend
that nurse crops are unnecessary
but my experience favors the
nurse crop and turf oats are
preferable. ! found that while
the nurse crop afforded protec-
tlon 10 the plant from the cold.
u gave the greatest protection
from the weeds in the spring
and summer, say from the time
all vegetation starts until the
harvesting Of the crop. after
which time the alfalfa can with
stand and even kill out anything
from cockleburrs 10 johnson
grass.
Alfalfa should not be grazed
IN It's infancy unless the nurse
crop Is very heavy and growthy.

should be grazed down 10 a
