RAINFALL IS VALUABLE
Increases as Line Is Drawn
Through Map Southwark.
TWsnty.0ne Inches In Panhandle Of
Texas Really No Better for Crops
Than 10 Inches In Montana
or Dakota.
(By J. O. BELLY

Aus Increase IN evaporation 14 very
marked az We proceed southwark
through the Great Plains. the seasonal
evaporation in the Panhandle Of Texas
being 81 inches. or about double that
IN North Dakota. The influence of
this increased evaporation upon the
agricultural operations is seen by com
pairing the agricultural operations
along the line of 20-inch annual rain
TALL In the two states. This line in
North Dakota passes through the
head Of the Red River valley, where
the rainfall has been ample for the
successful growing Of wheat upon the
same land year after year. In Texas
the 20-inch line passes through a coun-
try which Is still largely grazing land
and where agriculture is confined to
the most drought-resistant crops. such
as kaar and milo. It is evident, then,
that in dry-farming sections having
equal rainfall the north has a decided
advantage over the south-owing to
the lower evaporation. =.
Dr.. H. l.. Shantz Of the, bureau of
plant industry finds that the distribu.
ton of a native grass is a good index
pr the rainfall required in different sec-
lions Of the Great Plains. Short
grass. which consists chiefly of buffalo
grass and grama grass. is well suit
ca Tor this purpose. since 1t occurs
from Montana to Texas. In each Sec
ton the grass grows as far west as
the opposing influences Of rainfall aud
evaporation Will permit. It's growth
to the east is checked by competition
with the prairie grasses. Thus we have
d strip Of short grass extending from
Montana to Texas, limited on the west
eide by drought and on the east by
bomDetition with other grasses. There
fore the increase In the annual rain
fall as VI 60 from north to south in
the ~shortgrass region represents the
additional amount of rain needed to.
Offset the increased evaporation. In
Montana. short grass unmixed with
other grasses occurs In districts having
an annual rainfall Of approximately II
inches; in Colorado. in regions having
. rainfall Of II inches, and in the
Panhandle Of Texas, In regions having

) Colorado Harvest Large.

the Field and Farm, of Denver, ev-
erything in Colorado this year pre-
sents the picture of prosperity and
the farmers arc reaping one of the
largest harvests ever turned off in
this wondrous state. which has four
million acres under irrigation and one
and one-half times as many more de-
voted to dry-farming.
The wheat had total yield of 1o.-
100000 bushels at soc per bushel. The
winter wheat was particularly boun-
tiful, and as much as 20 bushels the
acre were harvested from some of the
dry farms.
Colorado this year has a total of
10000 acres in sugar beets. The
yield will be Is tons to the acre, with
total valuation of $s.50O,O00 The
fruit crop has been most excellent
and will this season reach total val
ue close to $10,0OO,0O0. The apple crop
alone will be 100000 boxes, or the
equal of SO many bushels, and the
price will be at least 81 box while
some of the fancy grades bring So
box.
Peaches and pears" says Mr.. Will
cox, "are of the most superior quail
ity and are bringing top prices. 1t
was the biggest cherry year we have
ever had, and the shipments to out
side places amounted to 100 carloads.
Our cantaloupe crop is Is per cent
greater than that of last year and
prices are better than usual"
The Northwest Pacific Farmer
writes us that the farmers of the Pa
cific slope were never in as prosper
Gus condition as they are today.
while taken as whole, there is
bumper crop and prices-they can
hardly be compared with the demand
The wheat crop this year in Ore
gon was very good one, averaging
about $50 per cent of last year. Oats
also had fine year, and the prices
are high. Hops had an average yield,
but the price is higher than it has
been for years. Last year they sold
for around 12c per pound. and now
they are up to 45c and still climbing.
The biggest crop of sugar bcets ever
raised in Oregon was during the 1911
season.
While the fruits average abolt 60
per cent of last years crop, the pri-
ces average 80 per cent higher, so
that the increase in price goes.
The Western Farmer, of Spokane,
tells us that the crop of wheat this
year in Washington will exceed any
previous yield by several million bush
els. Over 100000 ocres of wheat will
be harvested this year. A conserva>
tive estimate places the total weld Of
wheat at 76,00O,O00 bushels. The hay
crop indicated an increase of per
cent to 10 per cent over last year
The barley crop is estimated at 49,
100000 bushels as against 11,011 900
bushels in 1910. The rye yield is es-
timated at 100000 bushels as against
100000 bushels in 1910 The corn crop
is estimated at 100000 bushels pro-
duced on $4,000 acres.
