1t is a great pity that so many men
who are selected for their supposed
ability to fill positions of an advisory
capacity should develop fads or display
ignorance that renders their advice
dangerous. Especially is this the case
when an official of the government is
selected as an advisor of the great ag-
ricultural interests of the country in
which forestry and rainfall are in
question. Chief Moore, of the National
Weather Bureau, in a report for the
house committee of agriculture, de-
elares that precipitation controls
forestration, and that forestration has
little to do or no effect on precipita-
tion." That "spring floods come of
tener from the open; that the disas-
trous effects of soil erosion appear to
nave been exaggerated and that ero-
sion is not always an unmixed evil
He claims that floods are no more fire.
quent thar formerly and of no longer
duration; that any marked climatic
changes that have taken place are uni
~versal, not local, and that the evidence
is strong that the cutting eway of the
forests has had nothing to do with
creating or augmenting %droughts.
Such advice is peculiarly dangerous,
coming from such an authority, because
it is at variance with the facts. Theory
can play but a small part in the argu-
ment where there is so much expert
ence. Mr.. Moore evidently ignores the
of his own Office since it was
established. He has much to say about
floods, but little about droughts
or their origin. In southern Cali
fornia and other semi arid dis
tricts the rivers flow cup side
down. as it is called, there be-
ing no trees or other shade. The fradu-
al increase of precipitation in the
citrus belt caused by the general plant
ing of trees, most people attribute to
forestration. Trees, grass and un-
derbrush are supposed to prevent ero-
sion SO as to force the moisture into
the soil, replenishing springs and con
serving the moisture. Without such
earth covering the torrential waters
run off quickly, carrying away the soil,
exposing barren rocks that only re-
fleet the suns rays and produce arid
conditions. According to Mr.. Moore
the precipitation in the midst of a
desert is as great as along the oasis
line of timbered ranges. Experience
OF centuries and the instruments of his !
of1ce for forty years disprove this, as
well as his opinion about the erosion of
soil being a blessing in disguise.
If this is all Mr.. Moore knows about
his business he should be Pinchoted be-
fore he makes another report for the
benefit Of farmers.

An idea of what the Panama canal

this country may be CLEANED from the
fact that almost million tons of &C.

work. Shipments have already begun
in steamers owned by the government
which will carry about 100000 tons at
a trip. 1t is estimated that 1t will
take about four years to deliver the
100000 barrels of cement contracted
for at the present rate of shipment.

its own vessels instead of chartered
