employed. Similar experiments in
Texas, based upon the theory that at.
mospheric disturbance from the ex-
plosions will cause the precipitation
of moisture, have been followed re.
peatedly with heavy rains at times
when the advance prospect for rains
was most discouraging.
The mayors of all the principal cit

a scientific standpoint.
An article recently written by c.
w. Post and published in Golfers
Weekly, tells of experiments on the
Post farm lying near Post City, CARA
county, Texas. On the Post farm dur
ing dry season, firing stations were
posted at distances of an eighth of
mile apart, and one hundred and
twenty-five shots of two pounds of dy-
Mantle each were discharged from
each of the eight stations. Rain fol-
lowed within ten to twelve hours, con-
tinuing for ten days according to the
article.

suits of observations that rain follow

and that 1t generally rained after the

as should receive such employment,
the committee drives home its asser-

with agriculture activities In other

has to say upon the question:

the same has now been operated two

realized from the farm, not counting
the value of prison labor, is equal
to the price paid for the fand or

bona fide offer of s125 per acre for
the land there is net gain In this

Farm Area Inadequate.

Nibb tISa IldQSQudIC.
The men who have been employed
during the crop season on the farm
are not capable of doing heavy manual
labor or work in the shops. While
the showing is very creditable owing
to conditions under which the farm
has been operated. It's possibilities
have barely begun to be realized. 1t
does, however, furnish evidence of
what can be done on a large penal
farm under favorable conditions by
following the methods of scientific
farming. The present farm is not
sufficiently large to employ more than
a very small part Of the prisoners.
We shall offer evidence to show that
a much larger per cent of the prison
ers could profitably be employed up
on state farm
The state of Mississippi has already
demonstrated beyond controversy
the success of large prison farm for
convicts if operated under reason
ably favorable conditions. The farm
has consisted of several thousand
acres and 1T was so successful that
a recent session of the general assem-
bly, directed the board of trustees to
purchase two thousand acres of addi-
tional land. The report of the board
of trustees shows that cash profit
was realized on the state farms OF
over five hundred thousand dollars
(s5oo,ooo) during the twenty-one
months just preceding the making Of
the report.
