WOULD DYNAMITE
TO PRODUCE rain
BARNEY HORRIGAN SAYS TULSA
COUNTY CROPS CAN BE SAVED
by RAIN PRODUCER.

With a hundred and fifty pounds
of dynamite l can produce rain all
around Tulsa in twenty-four hours. p"
said Barney Horrigan, well known exe
plosiVe expert OF Tulsa, yesterday.
Mr.. Horrigan has never taken the part
of rain maker, but he has watched
the experiments in this line In differ
ent sections of the country and has
also observed several things about
explosions nearer to home.
After every big accidental eXplo-
sion we have had in and near Tulsa" "
continued Horrigan, ut has rained &.
When Barney Sullivan, my pattner,
was killed by a nitro glycerine mag
azine explosion north OF town last
year, rain fell in torrents that very
night. When the nitro magazine
south Of the oty blew up this spring
it caused a heavy downpour. You
can't get away from 1t, the explosions
of this kind simply bring down the
wetness. And these explosions have
occurred with some sort Of natural re-
sistance Take one third OF the
amount Of nitro glycerine or dynamite
that blew up in these accidents, place
It on a hill near the city and shoot II
straight in the air and you'll see

say they need to save the crops. Pm
